Okay. So, it was actually the law in place.

The question I was really--and maybe somebody else could answer this, is--What other Russian ethnic populations within other countries is vulnerable?

the goal is to overwhelm Western societies with the cynicism, to show them that, 'While we are bad, but nobody is good.'

I was talking about my basic sense that, obviously, Radio Free Europe, Voice of America, these things were very strong in the cold war, and we kind of almost mothballed the things.

I was talking to younger people, as well, and they believe that--I think it is all those things that you mentioned. It is the credibility, it is the authenticity of journalistic research.

So, it is hard to totally control society.

So, you do not buy it.

How do we push information to Russia, though? I mean, is it radio? Are we completely blocked by TV? Are we completely blocked on the Internet?

we are only interdicting 5 to 10 percent of illegal drugs coming in through the Southern Border

I think Congress can do more on Federal lands.

We are spending an enormous amount on education, and I am not convinced that we are getting the proper results.

Are we getting our money's worth?

We all want access to higher education, but if you make it unaffordable, you actually decrease access.

I think I can give them a first-class education.

I agree with Dr. Hart's earlier testimony that it certainly damages our credibility in terms of seat at the table.

the risk is that they will take, as they often do, a broad definition of national security
