I am very pleased that eventually we passed a clean bill fully funding DHS.

Do you think it would be inappropriate to send a very strong message that this kind of behavior is absolutely inappropriate?

TSOs put themselves on the line everyday to protect us and deserve an enriching workplace environment.

I am just shocked by your testimony.

Let's do it. Let's do it now.

I do hope you send that strong message and that changing the culture can be done immediately, not take a long time.

Nuclear energy is a critical component of our nation's all-of-the-above energy strategy.

Well, thank you for your comments. As you can see I have many people, including myself, that have real concerns about the proximity.

I was particularly pleased to see that, given the growing threat and the importance of our focusing like a laser on the cyber threat.

How can we as Members of Congress have respect for an agency that feels this is okay?

But we believe very strongly in the employment and training program, the potential it has to better connect people to the workforce.

I do want to thank you, Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member Lucille Roybal-Allard for holding this hearing.

I do not understand even off duty how a respected member of the Secret Service could get so inebriated.

Why did the NRC rely on Entergy's hazards analysis instead of performing an independent analysis of risk and consequences of construction and operation of the AIM Project?

The Secret Service has a long and storied history of excellence and professionalism, but recent incidents have diminished its reputation.

Well, as I understand it, compared to AIM, there is a smaller pipeline with lower gas pressure near the Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant, in Homestead, Florida. However, the NRC predicted a greater damage radius in Florida, than it did for…

Do you think the photo ID is actually effective in reducing fraud in the SNAP program?

We want to be sure that our responders have every tool available to detect, to prevent, and respond to acts of terrorism.

I strongly believe that the NRC has not adequately investigated the risk nor responded substantively to the concerns that have been raised.

I do not think we want this kind of person in the Secret Service whether they are on duty or off duty.

I join my colleague, Congressman Mike Conaway of Texas, who is currently the chair of the Agriculture Committee on authorizing, in requesting that we not adversely change the rules of the Farm Bill.

I want to use every single asset I have to help lift the places that have endured the most harm.

I support the motion to recede and concur, and I yield back the balance of my time.

We made certain promises to our veterans. We are obligated to deliver.

It is beyond me, frankly, that you can't get this done.
