It doesn't appear to be the priority in the Department of Commerce that we think it should be.

I think you're defending the appropriations process.

Mr. Chairman, I'm going to go vote.

I do commend the FBI agent who came forward who just couldn't sit back and let a person be accused.

Well, you have really highlighted an area that makes this whole intelligence, security, holding accused terrorists without charges being filed--we're not dealing with an enemy that is a nation state, like we have in the past.

I think everyone in both bodies, the House and the Senate, and both parties in the House and Senate, agree it is a critical need that we address cyber security.

I was very pleased that the President offered and you accepted an extension of your term, because I think what has happened at the FBI during your term is exponential.

Losing the C-130s takes away a powerful airlift asset for saving the lives of Gulf Coast State citizens.

Are you going to do that, Mr. Attorney General? Are you going to make a decision regarding people who have clearly exhibited that they do not have the integrity to prosecute in this sensitive area?

I think the changes that have taken place and the responsibilities that you've had have been more transformational than probably at any time since the beginning of the FBI.

I think we need Guantanamo Bay. I think we need the ability to hold people that are suspected terrorists.
