Again, what I am trying to do in this reauthorization would be to simplify this, without risking safety.

I think one thing we really need to be concerned about is mission creep.

No. It is bad for business to have chemicals stolen and used for nefarious purpose.

You did not make it more complex. We actually started to streamline it.

I think there are some real serious issues we need to discuss.

So here is task number two. The first one is we have to figure out what we do with explosive companies.

This law does not even have a sunset provision. It just goes on.

I felt that they should be here to watch part of this process because they may well be asked to pay the ultimate price.

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 authorized the Department of Defense to take action in cases where drones pose a threat to certain assets and facilities.

I cannot overstate the fact that this is such an important first step, but it is just a minimal first step.

That is a significant security risk from my standpoint.

her top priority was getting the authority to counter this emerging threat that I think we are so far behind the curve on.

You adopt this proposal, we will have 170 more, because this has virtually no standards.

I think it is also important to point out that we did draft this law to pretty well make the authority identical to DOD so that different agencies now working in cooperation are not inhibited by slightly different types of authority which…

the forgotten maniac.

President Trump has been very clear that he will walk away if he is unable to get a good deal with North Korea.

I think it is the latter. I think that he came to the conclusion that his regime was going to come to an end, one way or another, if he continued down the road that he went down.

NKSPEA has become the backbone of the current maximum pressure policy toward the regime.

the Trump administration has also conducted a successful international diplomatic isolation campaign against North Korea.

the first--first--standalone legislation demanding sanctions against North Korea and its enablers for proliferation, human rights, and cybersecurity violations.

the administration has been crystal clear, completely consistent.

I support President Trump's letter. I think it is an excellent letter.

As long as I am Chairman of this Subcommittee, the ISS will continue to have strong support and strong bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress.

the result being people realize that they can still go up to the border, as an unaccompanied child, we apprehend them, we process them, we disperse them.

I think we are going to have a real tough time actually deterring illegal immigration.
