thompson, i do have a question about you. there are a lot of complaints about regulations and such in this country. about its onerous and overburdened. the greatest exercise the governmental regulation is eminent domain. you made reference to that. so i want to know have you been approached by transcanada to negotiate anything regarding some possible use of your property? >> absolutely. >> can you tell me about that experience? >> yes. we were first notified verbally that they intended to use eminent domain if we didn't go along with the offer that they presented us for the use of our property. we definitely declined to do -- enter into any kind of an agreement with them. so they followed up with a written letter expressly stating that if we did not accept the terms of the agreement that they had sent to us that -- if we did not accept those terms within 30 days, that they would then immediately proceed to take our land through eminent domain. and my problem with that, sir, they were still in the permitting process at this ti

thompson. >> thank you, mr. chairman. good afternoon, madam secretary. it's good to have you back before the committee. it's been awhile. welcome. i expect that you will answer a wide range of questions today about fiscal year 2013 budget requests. i certainly have quite a few questions myself. but before we turn to fy 2013 requests, i think that it's important that we take a moment to acknowledge your starting point. the fy 2012 appropriations law. that measure which many of us oppose shortchanged homeland security in a number of troubling ways. it was predicted -- it was predicted on the belief that we can demand that dhs carry out a wide range of homeland security and nonsecurity missions without providing the resources. from my perspective, it was tantamount to congress running up a long tab, ordering more robust homeland security efforts, particularly with respect to border security, aviation security and immigration enforcement, and then stiffing you when the bill arrived. with this backd

thompson. >> thank you very much. i appreciate you calling this hearing and i appreciate our witnesses for their participation, also. today's hearing comes at a critical juncture in the efforts to secure maritime cargo entering our nation's ports. july 2012 marks the deadline for achieving 100% scanning of maritime cargo before it arrives in the u.s. pursuant to the implementation and recommendations of the 9/11 commission act of 2007. in other words, the raw requires all u.s. bound cargo be scanned either through nonintrusive scanning machines or receive a physical examination. today it's widely acknowledged that they will not meet this deadline. i'm a pragmatic person. i was a proponent of 100% scanning mandate, but you said stood that fulfilling the requirements would be no easy task. however those of us who assumed the provision hope to spur significant advances in cargo security by this point even if the initial 2012 deadline was not met. instead, in the nearly five years since the law was enacted, dhs has failed
