I feel a state deserves to learn where they fell short and be given a second opportunity to comply within reason.

If done correctly, this will ensure seamless communication for public safety all over the country.

The TIGER grant program...has been hugely successful in providing support for infrastructure across the country.

I'm pleased we are all in agreement that the state of our Nation's infrastructure is unacceptable and that we owe it to our constituents to make meaningful upgrades.

We may not need a big brand new government program to make meaningful change.

I agree that we should consider expansion, or at a minimum, the continuation of the highly successful TIGER grant program.

I hope will be to see if we can support existing programs and perhaps fund them more because they've been deeply useful in New Hampshire.

I vehemently support Federal dollars for community policing.

We have to ensure, too, that there are social and educational programs in place.

We have to ensure that our Federal, State, and local law enforcement officers have the resources necessary to keep our communities safe.

I am very grateful for your testimonies today.

It is created by evil scientists in a laboratory somewhere.

We need an extra budget just for helping the States to be able to deal with this.

This opioid issue, the grip of that addiction has been a huge challenge.

I pushed the Obama Administration on this, and I am now pushing the Trump administration on it.

I want to ensure that the rhetoric here is met by real action that reflects the seriousness of this crisis.

I think that would be great just because, again, we have a lot of people with talent, skill, and interest in serving their country who may not want to come work for the government, but we really need their skill and their insight.

I think it is something we really need to look at, because the overall security climate at airports I think will really be compromised with those grants.

Bringing law enforcement skills to the visa adjudication process makes a lot of sense, at least to me--I hope it does to you, too--and it should probably be, I think, implemented across the board for all diplomatic posts that issue visas.

We know over the last few years we have seen several troubling incidents of violence in these so-called nonsterile areas.

I think a lack of resources for PreCheck and TSA, generally, may serve as a disincentive for travelers to sign up for the program.

I wanted to start, Ms. Day, if I could, because I do understand that in your testimony, you brought up the need for the TSA Pre3 program to be fully supported and expanded.

We don't have a good process in this country for looking at old regulations.

We want it to be effectively deployed to address the need.

I think there is an absolute willingness for us to pay more.
