Our country's safety really does depend on that.

If you are willing to dodge a question when 99 percent of the world's scientists agree that the primary cause of climate change is human activity, that concerns me about your qualifications to take on this role.

My understanding is they have just started now to reach out to the chief election officers, which is an absolutely critical step.

When you are in charge of our country's security, when you are in charge of our response to natural disasters, you need to be able to rely on science and technology and consider and assess the science and technology that you are being…

DHS has a unique office called the Office of Community Partnerships (OCP) that does exactly what you are talking about.

I will just add to the chorus of those of us who have States with a Northern Border that we are looking for real attention to the Northern Border report.

Can you tell me the reason why you took these actions at DHS?

The number of personnel in that office was cut in half, the grants program was eliminated, and the Director of the office resigned.

I think there are experts who would disagree with you in terms of your statement that there is no difference between a freeze or a lock.

There are state-by-state laws requiring private and public entities to notify individuals when there are security breaches.

If you do not have the mechanism of official time, you are really making it very difficult for workers to enjoy the benefit of collective bargaining.

I have the good fortune of representing the men and women at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, who have a terrific labor-management model going.

I, too, believed that collective bargaining has proved to be not only an excellent mechanism for workers to protect themselves and each other.

I join Senator Warner and Senator Gardner's legislation on the Internet of Things Cybersecurity Act.

I joined with my friend, Senator Gardner, to introduce the AIRWAVES Act, which aims not only to get some funding for rural broadband, but also to free up more spectrum.

I would encourage constituencies everywhere to report in whether they've got broadband or not in certain areas.

It is clear from your testimony that the Internet of Things will bring major positive changes all across our country.

I would like to start my remarks this morning by offering my thoughts to the victims of yesterday's horrendous act of terror in New York City, my thanks to the first responders, and I would note the resiliency of the people of New York…

It does not appear to some of us that you have, and you are asking the American people to trust you.

From our research, it appears that you are a big fan of transparency, and so am I.

The Virgin Islands suffered a direct hit from not only Hurricane Maria but Hurricane Irma as well.

Thank you all to the witnesses for being here today and for the work you do on behalf of our country.

I think all of us were concerned that 8 days after the hurricane hit, it seemed like we were still having to suggest in that call that the United States military was going to be necessary to help get some supplies distributed.

I think the post office initiative is really important, which is another reason that we do not want to be closing post offices in rural areas around our country.

Therefore, this count is vitally important to people in the Granite State who rely on Federal funding for important projects and initiatives across the State.
