I think it is important that the general public be aware of what you have done even before this incident.

The response time of your officers responding to the threat in less than 5 minutes is to be commended.

I know we can never undo what has been done, but we want to make you whole again as much as we possibly can.

Thank you for your leadership in holding this hearing. To Maxine Waters, thanks for hosting us in your fine district.

It is critical that the agencies responsible for protecting our airports are doing all that they can to keep passengers and employees safe.

I must say I am very, very proud of the Los Angeles airport police, Ms. Lindsey, your efforts with the airport, and, Mr. Pistole, what you've done with TSA to make this place a safer airport.

Thank you to our TSA Officers out there who I think day in and day out under very difficult circumstances protect the traveling public from threats.

The difference that this is making to these students in McMinnville High School, they are thrilled that they have two separate nano labs going up to the ISS.

STEM education is a priority of course of many of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle.

I can't overstate the importance of accurate climate and weather forecasting to my constituencies from agriculture, the fishing community.

Budgets are about choices. The choice here is between fully funding the request to bring space launches back to American soil or continuing to send money, millions, to the Russians.

I urge you to do so, as I would find it difficult to support the funding you are requesting for commercial crew in the absence of such safeguards.

I think that is a very worrisome step for the agency to take.

I want to know more about the proposed increases to NASA's Commercial Crew program.

I am troubled by the cuts being proposed to NASA's education activities.

NASA needs to remember its priorities--and that priority is space exploration.

I am a bit puzzled by the cuts proposed for NASA's science programs.

I have to confess that I am a bit weary of the annual cycle of the Administration proposing reductions in the funding for the Space Launch System and the Orion exploration vehicles.

I am grateful that we are going to do it in a bipartisan manner based on heart and love and the values of this great Nation.

This human trafficking hearing has exposed slavery and human trafficking and smuggling, and we have said one thing. You are all the same and we are going to get you.

Let us touch somebody and say that you are valuable and I will not view you in any other way than the valuable person that you are.

You heard a man with a heart. You saw the best of what Congress is and can be.

This is the biggest threat to our children right here in the United States.

We want to turn that mess into a message.

I would propose for the committee to consider the allowance of funding to enhance collaborative training of health care professionals in our efforts to identify and intervene on behalf of these victims.
