largely through the dedication of everyone at dhs and the hill.n that note, 109 oversight committ committees. i still think there's a lot of work that congress can do on making their oversight on the department more efficient and easy. i'll leave that stump speech on its own for now and applaud for the work done and ask others to model that. also just as the lawyer in the private sector on the panel, none of my remarks represent any commitments or legal advice that i'm give. ing to anyone in this room. also nothing represents any -- indicates to my clients. with that, i'd like to spend a few minutes just talking about the structure and the questions that dhs proposed in the rule making. i really think and once again, i applaud the direction that dhs has brought the program in. the program has not only improved in the efficiency and the metrics they can talk about and i understand that's an important point, but also in the quality. i will also state we're at a point. this is a program that was created quickly with 800 words of legislation with a ve

in conclusion cp will work closely with the dhs enterprise, department of state, department of defense, intelligence community and foreign counterparts to address emerging terrorist threats such as those presented by annie's to identify any potential security vulnerabilities. i appreciate the leadership for providing this opportunity to join my colleagues and this serious issue, i look forward to working on this issue. i am happy to answer any questions you may have. >> the chair recognizes mr. wagner for his testimony. >> thank you, chairwoman milliken ranking member thompson, ranking member reza aslan, distinguished members of the committee. it is a privilege to discuss u.s. customs and border protection in securing international travel against threats of terrorists and their supporters. response the potential threat by the islamic state of iraq other terrorist groups and supporters including u.s. citizens, c v p and d. h. s. refine border security operations focusing and resources on the greatest risks at extending security measures out word to interdict threats before they reach th

at present dhs is unaware of any specific credible threat to the u.s. homeland and isil and we recognize that isil constitutes an active and serious threat within the region and could attempt attacks on u.s. targets overseas with little or no warning. isil is a sophisticated propaganda capability disseminating high-quality media content on multiple on line platforms including social media to enhance its appeal. media accounts of the conflict in the propaganda in particular play a role in inspiring u.s. citizens to travel to syria. we are aware that a number of persons, more than 100 have either made their way or have tried to make their way to syria over the past few years to join the international foreign fighters. i will conclude with aqap has attempted three times to attack the u.s. homeland. the airliner plot in december of 2009 in an attempt against a u.s. bound carb -- u.s. bound cargo plane and an airline plot in may of 2012 demonstrate their efforts to adapt to aviation security procedures and underscore why aviation security is there prior to a

we work through dhs and the outreach we have with state and local law enforcement. i agree that it is our first line of defense against any sort of particularly homegrown attack. >> thank you for your questions, and i would just say that if you see any of my law enforcement chiefs, if they do not get it, please let me know they don't get it. thank you, mr. chairman. witnessesto thank the for being here today. mr. secretary, thank you for being here and thank you for your outreach to this committee. matt, we wish you well in your future endeavors, and i know we will be talking about that personally. i think itr comey, speaks volumes your presence beingoday of a new era ushered in with the fbi, dhs, and state and locals coordinating and working together, which is the best formula. which actually does sort of a into demise what they were founded to do in the first place. i thank your leadership, i cannot tell you how much i appreciate it. members may have additional questions in writing. with that, this hearing stands adjourned.

we are deeply supportive of dhs efforts to protect the u.s. homeland and we make every effort to empathize work through diplomatic engagement with allies and partners. we remain gravely concerned by the activities of terrorist syria and iraq including islamic state, racket labonte or isil. we've seen into a trend to foreign fare travel for the purposes of participated in the conflict were sojourned a global connectedness to the media on a president at scale. so we at the state department were close with countries affected by the foreign fighter problem to counter the threat the fighters pose. the department of state were supposedly dhs to support its mission of protecting the united states by promoting effective order security screening with their foreign partners or enhanced information sharing. for example briefly with their best interest to share terrorism screening information with foreign governments at all to see the global terrorist threat to to this end, which implements foreign partners including visa waiver countries. these agreement

when the minority staff reached out to ask if dhs would appear as a witness, dhs was able to produce a witness prepared, apparently, in detail to provide testimony before this hearing today. however, dhs has still not arranged to properly brief our staff or to answer questions that we will be asking here today. i would like to introduce into the record at this time the correspondence between the staff and dhs has an example of what appears to be a very different treatment from this administration to a request from the majority staff versus a request from the minority staff. without objection, it will be placed in the record. let's cut to the chase. i have with me three witnesses. two are very clearly not part of transparency in government. i have no doubt your organizations have worked diligently with the minority to try to make this hearing good for you. it is want our job to try to make this hearing bad for you. but the american people deserve the truth, not a cozy relationship between the people of your president's party in covering up the ongoing failure to secure a website that

one, to codify authority of dhs to act in the world. there is clinical uncertainty about our ability to protect the.go world. there are statutes that somewhat interpret to inhibit our ability to protect the world. so the existing statutory landscape needs clarity in order for us to do our job. we know also in the private sector there are those who are concerned about their legal authority to share information with the government here they are concerned about their civil liability, potential civil liability if they share information if they act in response to the government and also looking to enhance our authority to hire cybertalent. one of my immediate concerns which i know you're focused on is clarity in terms of helping nasa police the world and this is something we've got to do on a daily basis when we face a tax on a daily basis, not just a fiber security threat anymore. >> i thank you and for your leadership, particularly the promotion of the ncic through the junction through which this activity can take place. mr. chairman, than

and she is the dhs, deputy assistant secretary for cybersecurity strategy. and what that means is she works to minimize network disruptions in the government, the private sector, so that government, the economy and society can keep on going. and that also means she focuses and spends a lot of time on securing the dot gov domain. then we have barry west a long-term public servant. he is now the chief information officer. and part of that job involves securing some very sensitive business information about pension benefits in the private sector. he's also worked at dhs and he served as a cio at the commerce department and at various other agencies. i should also mention that bobby used to work at disa which is the i.t. wing of the defense department. so with that, i'll let each of you go into your roles more in-depth and talk about the role you play in forward-looking cyber initiatives to tie this back to our topic today as well. would you like to go first? >> sure. >> so there's a long time belief in labs in general, and with me personally, that there really
