I appreciate you trying to clarify that for us.

President Trump is prioritizing engagement with Vietnam, an important trading partner of the United States.

The Joint Statement reflected discussions that took place on this issue during the Vietnamese Prime Minister's visit to the United States.

It gave the impression that the campaign was somehow using the same language as the FBI.

Progress on human rights in Vietnam, including protecting religious freedom and human rights, is of the utmost importance to this administration.

I can think of multiple 140-word-character expressions that he's done publicly to express he's not fond of the investigation.

If the President wanted to stop an investigation, how would he do that?

I would like to move that from 'potential' to 'see if we can ask that question,' so we can have a copy of those.

At the end of that time period, do you expect that we will need fewer FTEs, more, or the same based on that modernization?

I do not know how it works in your household, but I cannot do that in my household and most Americans cannot.

All right. You are also dealing with data center relocation efforts.

We just cannot continue to do what we are doing.

We do not think we need to move to a Tier 3 data center.

We have not had a problem with smoke and fire in the Capitol before, have we?

I went to the court and said, we have an issue.

We should maybe just station the Capitol police and have them watch out for the British on the outside of the building and have that as an extra protection as well.

The good news - bad news on it. Good news is we finally got the appropriations bills done and got that finished. Bad news, it is a very short window with just the rest of this year.

The donors also want to know the transparency portion of it, as well as the transparency of this subcommittee.

Most Oklahomans that I interact with don't know the term '702.' But it--if I asked them, should we collect information on terrorist organizations and terrorists overseas who are planning to carry out attacks on us and our allies, they…

So how does this harm your collection capabilities, to be able to not do the 'about' collections?

It is my hope that during this Congress, we can return to debating and passing individual appropriation bills instead of governing from one Continuing Resolution to another.

As Senator Murphy mentioned before, there are a lot of extremely important things to do, and there are a lot of people that are involved in this that are very dedicated folks that work on it.

But as Senator Kennedy said as well, part of the struggle of this subcommittee, not particularly with this subcommittee, but every time there is an increase in spending in one area there is a conversation about cancer research in another.

It is great politics for some because a lot of the people that are doing all the spending will not be here to have to answer when the bills come due.
