The department of Homeland Security to get us to march. That is, in my judgment, a very bad idea for Homeland Security. Because, during that period of a c. R. We cannot engage in new starts.

Secretary, for those direct answers. I yield back. Chair recognizes miss miller from michigan. Thank you very much, mr. Chairman. Good morning, mr. Secret
