How do we want our documents to look for the next, the next century?

Well, please keep us apprized, both of you, of this issue of qualified workers, finding them, keeping them because it is critical to the success of both your agencies.

Thank you very much.

Now, as Chief Engineer, prior to becoming the Acting Architect, will you take any steps to try to improve this process?

I understand. Can you comment on the intelligence sharing progress that you have made with other Federal agencies?

Very good. You mentioned the biggest challenge is staffing, and I don't think that is unique to the Capitol Police.

Well, thank you very much.

Thank you very much. I want to thank both of you for your dedication and your service.

One of the issues we hear consistently is the inability to hire qualified personnel throughout the economy of the United States.

Well, please keep us apprized, both of you, of this issue of qualified workers, finding them, keeping them because it is critical to the success of both your agencies.

We just need more people. We have great people working on that, we just need more of them, and that is what I am hoping to add.

I just have a few questions. General Gibson, you are the Chair of the Capitol Police Board, which is an inherently difficult job.

Yes. So those would be the individuals who have basically 24-hour coverage by the Capitol Police.

I think it is worthwhile emphasizing, again, the fact that the--and the cost benefit analyses, the benefits you have rendered to the Congress and the Nation have been significant.

So yes, this is not just the problems, but can you tell us what you are doing with this proposed budget to increase the timeliness of your response to Congressional requests.

Well, bravo. I really--I mean, I applaud you, and I am not surprised either.

We just need more people. We have great people working on that, we just need more of them, and that is what I am hoping to add.

How do we want our documents to look for the next, the next century?

service is a core American value. We take inspiration from those who have answered the call to serve, whether in defense of our Nation abroad or in strengthening our communities at home. Finding common cause through service is how we will…

I think that was an important change that has certainly made the security response far more agile.

Now, as Chief Engineer, prior to becoming the Acting Architect, will you take any steps to try to improve this process?

Well, thank you very much.

And within this new system there will be a significant emphasis on security of the system so that hacking and intrusions will be minimized?

Thank you very much. With your permission, may I ask one more question?

I understand. Can you comment on the intelligence sharing progress that you have made with other Federal agencies?
