Does that mean that in your assessment, with those resources in place, that if there were 18,000 people at the border tomorrow you would be prepared to meet the medical needs?

I am also concerned that the continual and likely increased shifting of personnel to the Southern Border will have a detrimental impact on travel, trade, and security along the Northern Border.

I am also obviously concerned that as we stand up more resources at the Southern Border we attend to the security and trade and travel at the Northern Border as well.

I worked with my colleagues in both parties to create a State and local cybersecurity grant program.

I am concerned, I think as we all are, about a resurgence in threats from international terrorism.

My issue is making sure that we have the resources in place and the execution capacity before Title 42 is lifted.

Thank you for coming before the Committee today to discuss critical resources that are needed to protect the homeland.

But my question is, what are you doing to make sure that we don't come to a place like this again, and to hold McKinsey accountable for failure to disclose what is an apparent conflict of interest?

I led a bipartisan letter to the FDA, raising concerns about the apparent conflicts of interests surrounding the consulting firm McKinsey.

I think it is not sufficient for us to rely on self-reporting anymore.

Well, I am going to hold off on that because I have a few other questions and limited time.

So I am going to follow-up with you additionally, because I am still interested in wanting an answer to whether you are going to suspend contracts, current or future contracts with McKinsey.

For some medications with serious safety concerns, FDA requires manufacturers to set up risk evaluation and mitigation strategies, otherwise known as REMS programs.

And it is using the notion of patient safety to delay the development of additional drugs that could bring down the cost.
