To my knowledge, this promise has not yet been fulfilled either. And so now is the time for the Department to make good on its commitments.

It is very important that the subcommittee hear the concerns of our fellow legislators and members of the public.

We are all engaged in this endeavor in trying to create a more perfect union.

Congress must reassert itself as a coequal branch, and that has to start with providing sufficient support to Members to perform their constitutional oversight duties.

We are trying to offset our power with the power of the executive, and sometimes it gets really hard.

I think when you talk about reforming government it is so important to provide these kind of protections for people who are really on the inside and really know how things work.

Phenomenal. We love this. Obviously, we have some challenges as far as trying to fund all of these great programs.

I need to warn you, however, that we will be wrestling with our other subcommittees for any new funding we can get to finance these needs.

Thank you for allowing me to testify today.

I just want to publicly say I am all into that.

The men and women of the Capitol Police put their lives on the line each day to ensure Congress is able to operate efficiently.

The Capitol Police is an essential agency of the legislative branch.

Providing adequate resources to keep our Capitol complex physically safe remains this committee's top priority.

This transition was one of the largest, and I applaud each of your teams' efforts.

The fiscal year 2020 budget request for the House of Representatives is $1.4 billion.

This request will allow us Members an opportunity to retain and hire the best and brightest.

Great. Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. Jackson, and your team.

I am happy to be leading our bipartisan Dear Colleague letter right now with Representatives Dr. Joyce of Pennsylvania, Murphy of Florida, and Stauber of Minnesota, that we will be sending to the subcommittee urging robust funding levels…

Unfortunately, the President's budget proposes a large cut to these programs that will discourage entrepreneurship at a time where we cannot afford it.

Absolutely. Where there were Russians playing on our networks...

H.R. 801, Congressman Palazzo and I have the Reserve Component Employer Incentive, Compensation, and Relief Act, which is a tax credit for employers who hire Guard and Reserve.

We will look to the corporate process to determine where those aircraft would best be needed.

I look at a couple different factors, but the one that is probably the most pronounced is about 50 percent... are either completely unemployed or what I would regard as significantly underemployed.

I remain concerned... about life balance for our soldiers and particularly those that are financially stressed...

We want to be partners with you as we walk down this road together.
