they write that representative michael mccaul, republican of texas and chairman of the house homeland security committee introduced a bill yesterday that would beef up the screening process for syrians and iraqis who enter the united states. the house is expected to vote on the measure today. remarkable pace for legislation that showed the urgency in congress to respond to the deadly attacks in paris. the bill, which received the full support of the speaker, would require that the director of the f.b.i., the secretary of the homeland security department, and the director of national intelligence conspirm

chairman mccaul, what really do you have to do? you can't protect all of these soft targets? >> it's very difficult and we don't want these foreign fighters coming into the united states from visa-waiver we've had in the homeland, we have had 18 plots stopped that were isis related. we have arrested 70 isis followers. we have a thousand investigation in all 50 states. one thing congress can do, we have an appropriations bill coming up in about two weeks and i think the fbi and components of homeland security will need an increase in funding to help this combat this threat we see right in the home land. >> is that the answer, congressman schiff? >> well, we certainly have resource challenges. but we're fortunate that we don't have anywhere near of foreign fighters to track that europe does. at the same time, two areas that we can beef up our own security is at our airports. way too often when we test the tsa, they don't meet the tests. >> and that was one of the things that i was going to bring down, shooting down the -- the explosion aboard that we blame on isis, that is pret

king, as well as chairman mccaul, for their support of my bill. i introduced h.r. 3505, the department of homeland security clearance, management and administration act, to make specific reforms in how the department manages its security clearance process. specifically, h.r. 3505 addresses how d.h.s. carries out the complex and expensive task of identifying positions that warrant security clearances, investigating candidates for clearances and administering its clearance adjudication, denial, suspensions, revocation and appeal process. since september 11, there has been a massive proliferation of original and derivative classified materials across the federal government. along with the enormous growth of classified material, holdings have come a sizeable growth in the number of federal positions requiring security clearances. h.r. 3505 reflects recent regulations issued by the office of personnel management and the office of the director of national intelligence to help ensure that federal agencies may correct designations for national security po

i'm joined by congressman mike mccaul, chairman of the homeland security committee managing this bill. you have a lot of democratic support. what is your projection now, the whip count, as to how many democrats are crossing over under a lot of pressure to take tough action on refugees right now? >> well, i think it's looking more optimistic this could be a bipartisan bill which was my intention from the beginning. this is simply putting a pause on the syrian refugee program until we can be assured by the fbi director, who has already testified about his concerns about the vetting process until we can be reassured that they can be properly vetted and background checks can be done before they are brought in. also, we require certification by the secretary of homeland security, fbi director and director of national intelligence. i think this is a very measured, well-balanced bill. it was designed to create a bipartisan bill on this very important issue right after paris, when we saw, as your reporter talked about, we don't know how many of these terrorists actually got through into europ

mccaul, recently introduced legislation, the refugee resettlement oversight and security act.would make substantial improvements to our refugee program and enhance congressional oversight of the administration's refugee proposals. many don't know that congress right now does not have much, if any, say over our refugee admission policy. this bill is intended to change that. it would require, amongst other thing, g.a.o. to review the security gaps in the screening process. the president as i mentioned has proposed resettling at least 10,000 syrian rev gees residing outside the syria conflict zone and refugee camps to the u.s. this fiscal year and i quote, from correspondence i had the opportunity to review today that chairman mccaul wrote to the president, quote, we remain concerned that these resettlements are taking place without appropriate regard for the safety of the american people. nothing is more fundamental, nothing gets at the core of what our constitution is intended to protect, as that statement. and in his correspondence, he cites to a couple pieces of testimony tha
