On the recordNovember 16, 2015
In closing, I would like to note that H.R. 1073 puts focus on EMP and GMD preparedness response in a reasonable manner. It does so in a way that does not come at the detriment of preparing for other more likely or more potentially lethal events. I would also reiterate that there are activities already underway at DHS to improve preparedness activities for an EMP event. For example, it is my understanding that DHS is looking at including EMP as an annex to the Federal Interagency Operational Plans currently in development. With that, Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 1073. I yield back the balance of my time.
