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.

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…

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.

Good stewardship of that money is important.

By condoning past mismanagement, I believe this decision allows taxpayer dollars to be put at high risk in the future.

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

That is more than the former Secretary of State was willing to do.

People need to lose their jobs over the failures that were admitted to here today.

I want to know who was on the call and what the substance of the call was.

I urge caution while these winds of war blow.

I believe Colombia is leading by example with individual freedoms, with economic prosperity.

Colombia is the epitome of what success looks like in South America.

I have spoken to hundreds of constituents. This represents about 300 emails that my office has gotten. And not a one, not a one member in my district in South Carolina or the emails of people that have contacted my office say go to Syria…

The American people deserve answers before we move forward talking about military involvement in Syria.

The same administration that was seemingly so quick to involve the U.S. in Syria now was reluctant to use the same resources at its disposal to attempt to rescue the four brave Americans that fought for their lives in Benghazi.

The Woods family deserves answers. He was killed in Benghazi.

There are no good guys to get behind here. And I can only envision an escalation of this current conflict.

The administration has a serious credibility issue with the American people due to the unanswered questions surrounding the terrorist attack in Benghazi almost a year ago.

Absolutely I want to talk about Benghazi because four Americans lost their lives. I have sympathy for the people in Syria, and I do think there should be a worldwide response. But we should act cautiously.

This report further underscores the decade-long theme of inaction and indifference of U.S. Park Police leadership.

We have got to break our obsession with developing strategies to defend the 1-yard line, meaning our southwest border and our northern border.

This administration refuses to see Iranian presence in the Western Hemisphere as a threat to U.S. security.
