Bob Bennett: “Finally, on security issues, so far the Bureau has treated security costs as non-reimbursable. Do you intend to continue…”

We cannot allow this to happen.

I do not dispute in any way, Mr. Chairman, the numbers that you have cited, but I do not want to leave the impression that all of the obstruction that has come as a result of the use of holds has come from the Minority side.

the current Majority Leader has used this tactic at a rate more than double that of his predecessor and five times as often as the last five Majority Leaders combined.

I hope that you will energetically continue to find solutions to all of the agencies challenges as you work to promote the security of our nation.
