We understand the perception in some cases of potential retribution, and we are concerned about that.

It seems to me that this type of activity needs to be stopped and it needs to be restricted.

I first want to commend Mr. Bentivolio for his courage in speaking out in the way in which he did.

I hope this hearing can serve as an opportunity to assess the state of physical security across Federal facilities.

The Federal Protective Service and its contract guard force put their lives on the line every day.

I want to know precisely what DHS is doing to obtain this information and when it will have a full and complete grasp of the issue.

How, after 10 years, does the Department not have a handle on what measures are in place to secure their own employees?

The American people need to know how these guards can protect them in life-threatening situations.

We are all getting calls in our offices as to the impact of ObamaCare on average Americans. Here is an example from just this morning: A female, aged 23, making below the D.C. poverty level per year. She currently pays $94 a month for her…

I have said many times that you can never satisfy government's appetite for money or land; they always want more.

I believe that we concluded that it would probably be a different charge for trucks than it would be for automobiles.

I just want to say that I feel it is really-- this is not a joke to the American people.

It is really kind of sad that this law was signed into effect in March of 2010.

Has the President taken any similar steps to bring those terrorists to justice? The answer to that, Mr. Chairman, is no.

I would just like to point out, my time has expired, but point out that this operation occurred 15 days after the cowardly mall shooting that al-Shabaab perpetrated in Nairobi.

I am glad that the United States stands with Israel.

I have gone way over my time and I apologize. You probably didn't notice, but I said in my opening statement that we are facing competition that we never had before because for many, many years so many other countries were following…

I want to thank all of the panel for a very helpful and informative testimony.

The purpose of this panel, of course, is to modernize the freight network and, as I said, make the U.S. more competitive.

We have always got to be looking at ways to do more and do it better and more efficiently.

This is low-hanging fruit as we talk about immigration reform that we don't start pursuing some of these visa overstays.

So people should have been fired that have not been fired.

We understand that that is the overarching goal, is to keep our homeland secured.

Good stewardship of that money is important.
