Published | Video Starts at 01:11

… Security and then Government affairs, but on the Homeland Security side, and that's what this hearing is all about. We established some basic priorities and not in any particular order. We established five [priorities]: Border security, cybersecurity, protecting our critical infrastructure, including our electrical grid, doing whatever we can to counter violent extremists, Islamic terrorists whose threat... is growing. And then our fifth priority was really kind of directed at the secretary, but I'll include both you gentlemen as well, doing everything we can, committing this committee to help you achieve your goal, your mission of keeping this nation safe.
