Overseas, many of them stand ready and willing for their next mission. As many of my colleagues have pointed out today, the National Guard can play a pivotal role in securing americas borders. Weve seen successful guard missions in the past with operations jump start, phoenix, and nimbus. Last year i called on the department to use the National Guard to help secure the border. In may 2013, i offered an amendment in this committee to the Border Security results act, which would ensure that dhs considers Lessons Learned from past National Guard missions on the border.

Its also unclear whether we will hear from the president s medical team or the president himself today. They both, of course, have been reluctant to give the full picture of his health during his coronavirus infection. The public, frankly, has every right to know about any president.
