Given the complexity of the tax code and the importance of helping taxpayers, recruiting and retaining skilled employees is of utmost importance.

I would love to sit down with you on that, because I do think with pricing transparency... we can actually see whether the market will perform or not.

The sooner you can get me a response on those, the better.

My hope would be--the reports have come up of minors being kept in solitary confinement for 23 to 24 hours, to being strapped to a chair, to being strapped to a chair without any clothing, to having bags put over their head, all practices…

And I know this is a hearing about drug pricing today--and I will come back to that--but I, like a number of my colleagues, have some questions about the ongoing crisis of the children at the border.

I don't think enough was done, but there were a series of actions taken.

I believe we have such concentration in these systems on the backend, and 90 percent concentration, and the vulnerabilities that I believe exist and still exist.

So a third party could come in and be the ongoing servicer?

The Commonwealth of Virginia requested you return those machines. You did not.

I would like to get a commitment from you that you will work not only with the Commonwealth Virginia, but with other states that are doing such a review.

I pushed that review. I pushed to make sure that we would have that paper audit trail because we had statewide elections in 2017.

An ongoing threat that has been confirmed by every member of the Trump intelligence community that Russia and/or others will be back in terms of trying to penetrate our systems.

I am very concerned that there is a lot of chest thumping about how well we did in 2016.

I would hope that there might be some way and I think the social media companies have been slow.

But now you can touch a whole universe or the world with a keystroke.

I thank the leadership of the committee for getting that $380 million into the budget to try to help assist election officials around the country.

One of the issues that--and I think, Ms. Martin, it was raised in your testimony--I am increasingly seeing is kind of isolated areas where there may be, you know, two competing hospital systems, and they leave an isolated island in between…

The fact that there is a 74,000-person backlog is insane, and that is a national security risk

My concern is, you know, virtually every mid-sized to larger financial institution around should have somebody that has got classified status and clearances...

This problem is going to only exponentially grow...

I think this is probably outside the scope of the whole hearing, but to me, when we do not have a single data breach notification requirement...

I just believe, Mr. Chairman, that there are a lot of folks who have been reluctant to fully engage...

I worry that this President's relentless attacks and his allies attacks on the Mueller investigation... really raises to me the concern that some of Mr. Trump's supporters may start thinking well, you know, not only is the Mueller…

I think any reasonable person following who is been following the story... every one of them 100% agreed.

The committee's report yesterday left zero doubt that that committee does believe there was Russian meddling in the 2016 election that it was designed to help Donald Trump.
