schwartz: there's nothing isolated about the herminie situation. it's a very common problem. it's a town that was built before current standards. this is not backwoods rural america at all. it's just an unfortunate situation that was created probably a hundred years ago or more. and the people have to pay for it in a big way now. because the government is choosing to spend its money elsewhere right now, there's very limited money for communities to install adequate drinking water and wastewater, and i think it's criminal. that's my feeling. this country has to get its priorities right, and they're wrong right now. narrator: herminie faces problems because of the way its residents laid out the town generations earlier. across the country, many other cities and towns deal with the unexpected consequences from their early infrastructure design. los angeles county is a land of sprawling development. with development comes hundreds of square miles of concrete, leaving no way for water to naturally soak into the ground. in areas of such widespread urbanization, flooding can be deva

schwartz quickly. i've -- >> i've been in the government for nine months and i'm impressed with the folks we have in that. part is the great environment, but also the hiring authority that was mentioned. we do have direct hiring authority and the flexible hire that we can compete with others that need the cybersecurity gains, and i understand where this committee has come down in terms of dhs having similar authorities and it's in the administration's proposal as well. >> all right. thank you. mr. chip mapp? >> thank you. i add that i know that this is an important aspect of the administration's focus on cybersecurity. indeed the comprehensive initiatives mentioned included cyber education as an important topic, and i know that work continued. at doj, it's an important topic getting a lot of attention, especially at the fbi. the fbi in recent years created a 5-7 year training program for agents to make sure that they are e quipped to confront the sorts of cyberthreats we've been talking about. >> all r
