ms. pelosi: the government may not be able to meet the standards set by the judge to reunite families. let me just back up for a moment. chuck schumer and i a while ago wrote to the administration to say, stop the separation of families. reunite families. and do so in a way that does not reunite them in a detention center but reunites them the way they had been reunited before. as they awaited the decision of the court for whatever it happened to be. asylum, refugee status, whatever. that was what we asked for. he judge insisted upon the reuniting, i think separations have probably stopped by now. but just the very active separating those children from their parents is a bad thing. it's a very bad thing. it has consequences on those children. how can you answer to that? so the fact that they lost the identification, they this or that, they weren't careful, is making it harder for them to reunite people. in fact, in some cases they're saying people have committed crimes when it might be a visa -- a status violation. it isn't about our values as a country. certainly if somebody has commi

merkel in germany and ms. may in london, england, in u.k. -- but he also challenged the unity of europe weighing in in regards to brexit and the politics of brexit. that's not how the president brings unity among our allies in order to stand tall against the threats of russia. the report goes on to say we need to build global cyberdefenses and norms. congress has appropriated funds. the administration has not fully utilized those funds. we need to hold social media companies accountable. we've seen infiltration of russia into our social media platforms. europe has already taken action to make sure that's identified and protected against infiltration of foreign entities getting involved and trying to influence policy in their country. the united states under mr. trump has not taken similar action. first and foremost, we need to recognize russia for what it is today. not the russian people, but its leader -- under its leadership of mr. putin, russia is an adversary. they're against our system of government and they'

ms. murphy: may i? i think if you look at the alignment of h.r. services with the work g.s.a. is already doing. if right now you try to use the human capital training services contract, it is unclear where you're supposed to go. by bringing the groups together it is much easier for customers. you can use acquisition officials for greater service. likewise, merging consulting or customer experience work. bringing them together, we can leverage that and provide a better solution. by having the work we do on telework, individuals from telework consultancy aligned with those who do telework i.t. management, you can get a better solution just by having everyone work together. at the end of the day, my goal is that i'm supposed to deliver $2 million in savings as well as improving customer satisfaction. my goal is to throw my customers and save taxpayer dollars. >> good goals. you give us a newsflash, saying phase two is still in conversation about what happens to retirement and health benefits. tells about that. would we have the same kind of gain in moving that over as you are exa

alexander may, and ms. jarmon as well. there is a lot going on from the g.a.o. perspective, as i mentioned before, it needs to be better organized and better focused on prioritizing risks. we cannot fight all of them, all of the time. that is very important. and then, assessments will yield also additional actions that may be required, i think mr. alexander mentioned the presidents budget request, for example, outlining 17 or so programs or activities. that would come into the mix. but, a comprehensive, forward- looking strategy is imperative to make sure that fraud risks are identified and managed in the most effective way possible. >> i would like to discover bad apples, able engaged. they go from georgia to florida , to other states, trying to get away with the same thing. >> in only the 8 or so weeks that we have run this process, we have seen emerging risks that are both geographically desperate, and tied together. we are seeing through a link analysis that a behavior over here that is particularly problematic is also showing itself here. through this proce

ms. gardner, you may proceed. >> good morning, chairman, ranking member titus and members of the subcommittee. thank you for this opportunity to testify on lessons learned from the historic 2017 hurricane season. i've worked in public safety for 23 years and 10 of which i've been a certified emergency manager. i appear before you today as a representative of the u.s. council of international association of emergency managers, an advocacy organization for the profession dedicated to protecting america's local communities from all hazards and threats. local governments serve as our nation's first line of defense. when disaster strikes and immediately following a disaster, emergency managers play a role in coordinating local response and recovery efforts working to mitigate further damage from the disaster. appens before the disaster. we wake up thinking about but the most work actually happens before the disaster. emergency managers wake up thinking about, planning for and mitigating for all types of emergencies because we don't have the benefit knowing what may occur next, a public health emer

so some friends -- some of our friends on the left are worried that president trump may have hurt ms-'s feelings. but at this department, we're focused on the safety of the american people. not on gang safety. that's why we put our target on the back of any ms-13 member in the united states and around the world too. we have gotten support there. in 2017, working with countries like el salvador and others, we helped charge or arrest a total of more than 4,000 ms-13 members across the western hemisphere and in 2017 we brought more cases against more violent criminals in the united states than in any year in the last quarter century. we charge the most federal firearms -- criminals with firearms in a decade. we convicted nearly 500 traffickers, 1,200 gang members and the trump administration we know whose side we are on. we are on the side of police, law and order and american people and we back the blue. not the criminals. thank you. in fact, the first executive order i got on the first day in office from president trump was back the men and women in blue. that's exactly what we were pr
