This is an issue that has such important resonance for me.

I will soon be reintroducing the Cyber Security Education and the Workforce Enhancement Act, which seeks to prepare more women and minority students and early stage to mid-career professionals within the Federal Government for…

Thank you for holding today's hearing on 'Growing and Diversifying the Cyber Talent Pipeline.'

Congress is again in a strong position to demand their appearance.

The FISA court, although there needs to be firewalls, have over the years protected this Nation from heinous and horrific terrorist acts.

So I find that sort of looking across all of these issues and doing as much as we can to keep someone in home is really important.

I think that addressing these issues is incredibly important.

Thank you, Madam Chair, for hosting this important hearing on such an important issue.

Like me, you have seen choices of cat and dog food being supplanted for real food.

I am very pleased to be one of the cosponsors of the H.R. 2100... focusing on strengthening Social Security.

It would be immoral to try to solve our long-term budget challenges on the backs of retirees.

We have been asking repeatedly for VA and the Department of Defense to provide information about their governance proposal for months, but all we hear is crickets; meanwhile, the program continues to move further down the track and…

A lack of accountability, a lack of governance, it is not just a Veterans Benefits Administration issue, it is a whole of VA issue.

It is good to have lessons learned, but unfortunately you had to fail to get here.

Resulting in unclear communication of implementation progress and inadequately defined expectations, roles, and responsibilities of the various VA business lines and contractors involved.

I would like to compare some statistics between community colleges and for profit schools in my district in Las Vegas, Nevada and Henderson.

Please use that terminology. I understand they are understandable.

When is the President to emphasize to the Attorney General... your major and chief responsibility... is dealing with White nationalism and Nazism?

The President of the United States has not done enough to deal with quashing the rising acceleration of domestic terrorism and hate in this country.

I do believe it is important to focus on the rising emphasis of White nationalism and Nazism.

But the limitations to the right to disagree can be best described by the ancient wisdom: 'Your right to swing your arms ends just where the other person's nose begins.'

The United States is a Nation of laws, which gives us the freedom to agree and most importantly disagree with not only each other, but with our Government.

The problem is further complicated by a President who thinks that Neo-Nazis, White Nationalist and White Supremist are fine people.

His unwillingness to denounce and distance himself from these extremists has been taken by many as tacit support.
