I agree that we should step up the pressure not only on the Chinese Government but also on global corporations and institutions that are turning a blind eye toward these gross human rights violations and even genocide.

I want to talk a little bit what is happening in Xinjiang and the treatment of Uyghurs and other Turkic ethnic minorities.

Thank you so much, Madam Chair. I will yield back.

I am glad to hear that your public/private partnership is working, and it is going to be a model for the future.

I also represent a lot of Indian Americans who are deeply concerned, as I am, about the resurgent wave of COVID-19 in India.

Thank you again, Administrator Power, for joining us today. And before I forget, I definitely want to thank you for your advocacy for the Uyghurs and Turkic Muslim minorities and Xinjiang and your strong stance against forced labor and in…

I hope that mission is able to do the right kind of vetting to ensure that this money doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

I represent a lot of State Department staff, and one of the things that was very concerning to me is the lack of morale, you know, the diminution of morale and attrition at the State Department over the past term.

Getting better diversity at the mid and upper levels of the State Department will help with that as well.

The goal. So it is safe to say that as of January 6, the Capitol Police was already aware that you guys had communication issues and trouble--shortcomings when it came to acting on information.

3.2 is to establish processes and implement a department-wide framework for converting information and data into actionable communications for the workforce.

So are you familiar with the U.S. Capitol Police's strategic plan for 2021 to 2025 which was issued under Chief Sund?

I really don't ever want to see anything like January 6 happen here again, but, frankly, it really did showcase to the world the vulnerabilities here at the Capitol.

I do want to put in a plug to minimizing that fence as much as we possibly can and making it safer for pedestrians.

And I was kind of surprised actually because it is a little town, but it was very nice to see.

As a Member who represents a chunk of the national capital metro region, you know, looking at all these fences... is disturbing and not sustainable, in my mind.

Will you commit to having public press briefings in the future, from this point going forward?

Now, having this kind of a news vacuum creates a community where conspiracy theories and misinformation can spread easily.

So is it safe to say that that structure failed on January 6?

And then there was some discussion from Representative Clark and Representative Newhouse about these daily intelligence reports that came out in the days following.

So you would think that you would make it more of a security--more along the lines of a State of the Union than, you know, an average day.

I think it is very clear that Officer Liebengood would still be with us today but for the events of January 6.

So you are not going to acknowledge that it was as a result of the events on January 6 that Howard Liebengood is no longer with us?

Do you acknowledge that the death of Officer Brian Sicknick was a line-of-duty death?

I want to thank you also for acknowledging the officers who died as a result of the events of January 6 in your written testimony and in your testimony here today.
