Yes, Mr. Speaker, it is absolutely my intent and the intent of the Energy and Commerce Committee that these bills be implemented in coordination with the Secretary and the Department of Homeland Security. In fact, the sole reason we are amending these bills is to make clear that the Department of Energy must implement these bills in coordination with other Federal agencies. I want to make clear that we intend, first and foremost, DOE to coordinate with the Department of Homeland Security. We have made that clear to DOE at the highest levels, and the Department has acknowledged that it will coordinate with the Department of Homeland Security in implementing these bills.
