I hope will advance the ball on cybersecurity.

The military has done a commendable job of training our counterparts in the SOUTHCOM region.

I was very proud to be a part of that commission as well, chaired by Senator King and Representative Gallagher, and I am very proud of the final product that is being released today.

Hopefully, that is going to be addressed in the supplemental that Congress is dealing with, and we will have a mechanism for that.

We are starting now to do election support, an enduring mission, as our Secretary has talked about.

I am concerned that the President's fiscal year 2021 cyber budget signals in select places that we can sacrifice defensive programs.

I apologize to everyone for being late. We just left the Vice President giving a briefing on the coronavirus issue to the Democratic Caucus.

We strongly support the bipartisan Air Carrier Access Amendments Act, H.R. 1549, which was introduced in March 2019 by Rep. Jim Langevin (D-RI).

I am just deeply disappointed that administrator's budget continues to de-prioritize these desperately needed investments.

I firmly disagree with the Acting Secretary's assessment.

The cuts that are being proposed here clearly, even on its face, don't meet the threats that the country is facing.

You have said in the past that Turkey makes nearly 1,000 parts for the F-35. Do you still expect those Turkish suppliers to be replaced by March 2020?

I appreciate their contributions to the discussion and their work product in the coming weeks.

Will you commit to working with me and my colleagues at the Department to determine the appropriate investments necessary to protect our national security from climate change?

Will you commit to working with me and Congressman Gallagher... to implement the many legislative recommendations outlined in the forthcoming Commission report?

I want to express my very strong concern that the budget only includes one Virginia-class sub rather than two.

The implications of climate change are indisputable.

A global biological pandemic would arguably present the single biggest threat to the U.S. short of a nuclear war.

The hearing will come to order. I want to welcome everyone to today's hearing on reviewing the Department of Defense strategy, policy, and programs for countering weapons of mass destruction.

As it outlines, people with disabilities already face significant barriers to competitive, integrated employment, and we cannot allow another barrier to remain in their way. Mr. Chair, I am proud to vote in favor of strengthening the Age…

I find that the rise and spread of anti-Semitism extremely troubling. I think it is important that all of us call it out and condemn it as often as possible and not be silent.

I don't regret for a minute that he is gone from the face of the planet. He was a murderer, a terrorist and a significant danger to the National security of the United States.

The subcommittee will come to order.

I am concerned about what is going to happen to them now.

Obviously, the thing that most worries me is the threat to the homeland and obviously their escape would be very troubling for our security, as well as that of our allies.
