I look forward to your positive reply to this request for a viewing of the video and a briefing by relevant agencies that were part of the investigation.

It would lead people who have been subjected to this violence to think in that manner.

We do not have a Federal crime under domestic terrorism. What do you think?

So you understand the impact in the African American community as it relates to bombs.

I want to, however, mention and give accolades to the late Barbara Bush.

There was no reason at--Mr. Manley was not a criminal, so you all--you know, that was--I am sorry.

Congress and DHS share the same goal of keeping our communities safe. We must make it clear that information needs to be shared to allow for proper oversight, both now and in the future.

It will be the officer on the streets of Hazleton, Harrisburg, or Shippensburg, not an analyst in Washington who will recognize a member of our community has been radicalized or been recruited by a gang or terrorist sect.

I am disappointed in the fact that the DOJ lifted the financial moratorium, the funding moratorium on other DOJ agencies but did not lift it on the BOP.

The frivolity of a balanced budget amendment should have been discussed when my friends passed the frivolous tax cut bill.

The responsibility of the American people is to be diligent. But those of us who represent the American people, our responsibility is to be truthful.

The first responders are wonderful and as we understand the president's budget, some of those dollars for them were cut

I do think that all of us need to look at a reconfiguration of FEMA to the rescue period...

I believe that the Transportation Security Administration... is a first line of defense in the nation's airports.

We are very unclear on how enforcement proceeds with dreamer, status dreamer persons.

I believe that the department is less diverse than it has ever been.

As my colleague Congressman Green did, let me acknowledge Commissioner Ellis, Commissioner Cagle, and that is because we worked together so hard to expand the supplemental nutrition program.

I thank you for your astuteness. Your chairwoman of the Homeland Security Committee remained throughout the committee

If there is a bipartisan committee in the U.S. Congress, non-partisan, it is the Homeland Security Committee

I wish Harris County would use their CERT emergency response teams, particularly in the inner-city areas.

The red tape will kill you, and that means red tape for the Red Cross and FEMA and Federal entities.

The questions that they send back and the denials are just so unworthy and unnecessary.

We always can respond very effectively, but we forget about what it takes in order to get our people and our residents back to a new state of normal.

I think what would be helpful now is that especially when we are anticipating these types of storms, for people in vulnerable communities...

I would appreciate a written response back on that.
