I applaud the zero to 12--I guess I am already on the birth, but let's go from K to 12.

My question is, has the DEA followed these recommendations?

They have sort of enhanced their authority and on occasion ICE officers have found themselves on church grounds and in courthouses.

Under the immigration Executive order, ICE officers have been given undue responsibilities or authority.

So the idea would be what was the undue influence to construct the document in the way that was constructed.

I continue to be troubled by how long it took President Trump to accept the facts presented by the intelligence committee about the Russians orchestrating the hacking campaign.

It has been disheartening to see President Trump display a somewhat dismissive attitude about this very significant cyber attack.

That is why I support an independent 9/11-style commission to investigate the Russian cyber campaign.

I thank you, Chairman. Might I have a special appreciation to Ranking Member Kaptur, who took note the $3 million study in the last debate on the floor and her staff was very helpful to our office.

I would be delighted. And I would say it is a positive impact, and that is because of the new potential direction of the ships getting through much faster.

Minimizing the risk of flood damage to the Houston and Harris County metropolitan area, the Nation's fourth largest, is a matter of national significance
