Safety is number one.

I understand there are growing concerns that the TSA's performance in pipeline security has been inadequate.

I hope that you can explain to me how this has happened, what it means for our County and the world, and whether we are prepared for the worst.

These trends...present not only an economic threat, but a national security threat.

In the event of conflict with China in Taiwan or the South China Sea, the United States needs a strong industrial base independent of Chinese supply chains.

This phenomenon is extremely troubling. This seems symptomatic of a deep and fundamental weakness in our Supply Chain.

China produces 96 percent of the world's shipping containers.

Over the past year, thousands of ships have left American ports, devoid of cargo.

I don't understand why we have a two-tiered system here. One is they can do anything and we can do nothing.

In the event of a conflict with China...the United States needs a strong industrial base independent of Chinese supply chains.

I am certainly concerned about China's dominance in building in these areas, and it does affect the industry, and we do monitor that.
