We understand the sensitive nature of the cross-border cooperation, and I want to once again thank all of the agencies involved in Guzman's capture.

That arrest would do more to stop the flow of contraband into the United States and the slaughter in Mexico than all the billions spent so far.

The best way for us to counter them is by working together.

Just last month, the Pena Nieto administration, in coordination with U.S. law enforcement, took down the biggest drug kingpin in the world.

Americans understand that the threat posed by drug traffickers is particularly intense along our Southwest Border.

We commend you and our Mexican partners on this extraordinary success against Guzman.

I intend for this committee to move legislation on that issue, as well.

We ask that you request that El Chapo face this same justice in the U.S. for his crimes.

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

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

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.

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