the refugee resettlement process is a multi-agency effort that involves the department of state, department of health and human services, or hhs, and dhs. and our vetting departments in the intelligence and law enforcement community. while the department of state manages the u.s. refugee admissions program, uscis is the one who conducts the interviews overseas and is responsible for determining who is eligible to be a refugee of the united states. we streamline the vetting process for applicants. this administration recognizes that nothing is more important than protecting our national security. over the past year, at the direction of the president, uscis, together with department of state, federal recall law enforcement introduces new measures to make the program. with respect to setting the annual refugee sealing, the proposed settlement for 2019 takes into account the realities with implementing these new measures. to repeat, though, the number is not final, and it will work for the fiscal year. whatever that number is, it will be driven by my agency and the capacity of vetting refugees,

i want to accept it on behalf of the entire united states department and i'll also accept it as a challenge to keep my foot on the gas at the department of state. [ applause ] >> i see a lot of friends here tonight, and i know you all have had a long day, but it is worth recounting what we've done in this administration over the first now coming on 20 months. let me start with a basic fact. in the entire middle east, there is only one consistently pro-american free enterprise, the democratic nation. it's the people of the state of israel and this administration understands that deeply. for the previous eight years, we had an administration that showed more respect to the leaders of iran, to the people of israel. president obama thought if he made dangerous concessions, removed economic sanctions and flew a planeful of cash to iran, he could somehow get iran's leaders to behave well in creating a land of nations. but those leaders are not from a disney movie. they're real. they are not tragically misunderstood. they're murderers and leaders of terrorism who still leads chants of death to ame

the refugee resettlement process is a multiagency effort that involves the department of state, department of health and human services, hhs, and dhs. and our veterinarianing partners in the intelligence and law enforcement community. while the department of state manages the u.s. refugee admissions program, u.s. cis is the one that conducts the interview over's and is responsible for determine whog is eligible to resettle as refugee in the united states. throughout the refugee program's miss history we have continually looked for ways to improve refine and streamline the security vetting process for refugee applicants this. administration recognizes that nothing is more important than protecting our national security. over the past year at the direction of the president, u.s. cis, together with the department of state, federal law enforcement, and the intelligence community, conducted extensive reviews and introduced new measures to make the u.s. refugee resettlement program more secure. while necessary, those changes have increased the time that it takes to process refugees for resettlem

in your testimony you said you're working closer with the department of state. can you explain a little bit more what that entails? >> sure. we have set up a display of materiel captured from a number of battlefields that our partners have provided us to help explain and expose the type of activities iran is engaged in. we very much welcome members of congress coming out to see this display. we've brought a number of representatives from countries around the world. we think this helps demonstrate diplomatic support to contest. violations of u.n. security council resolutions that these weapons and materiel, i think, really bring home. >> so based on your statement a minute ago, you're saying basically -- and maybe general benedict can answer this -- that the department of defense doesn't have any role really other than ancillary to countering iran and syria? you're focussed solely on isis or you're dealing with a dod rule regarding iran? >> in syria, chairwoman, our role is to defeat isis, that's it. as mr. karem mentioned, there's a secondary benefit to our prese
