From the opening statement of Karen Bass: "The world is experiencing what many experts say is an unprecedented humanitarian and displacement crisis. I am sure many of us have seen images flash across our TV screen that include massive numbers of citizens displaced from Syria, Myanmar, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Yemen and others. But we also have to acknowledge that this is also happening right here on our own doorstep. [...] While there are many more cases, including people displaced from Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, and South Sudan, the situations I have referenced highlight that there are numerous root causes for why people are forced to leave. This is why it is critical for the United States to continue to support the State Department and USAID [United States Agency for International Development], given that their programs are often aimed at investing in women, girls, and youth. It is better to address the root causes for why people have to leave their countries." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Raul Ruiz, Annigje Ruwalda, Ryan Mace, Eric Schwartz.

Security Challenges in Europe and Posture for Inter-State Competition with Russia, Committee on Armed Services House of Representatives One Hundred Fifteenth Congress Second Session, March 15, 2018
This is the March 15, 2018 hearing titled "Security Challenges in Europe and Posture for Inter-State Competition with Russia," held before the House Committee on Armed Services. From the opening statement of William M. "Mac" Thornberry: "I think that it is clear that the United States has neglected both ends of the warfare spectrum in recent years and much in between. But the recent budget agreement and the new National Defense Strategy and Nuclear Posture Review give us the chance to begin to do better. We must do better across the board. It is not enough to advocate for a more robust cyber response to Russia's attempts to meddle in our elections, but waiver on our response to their renewed nuclear or territorial ambitions. Likewise, we cannot build up our missile defenses and nuclear deterrent but leave significant cyber intrusions unanswered." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Curtis Scaparrotti.

From the opening statement of Bob Corker: "Today we are here to review our second civil nuclear cooperation agreement this year, the fourth in the Asia-Pacific region in the past 2 years. While we focus in on the agreement before us with South Korea, I would remind my colleagues that in the past 2 years we have also entered into agreements with Taiwan, Vietnam, and China. In reviewing this agreement, we must weigh the impacts of its contents on our global nuclear proliferation objective against the political and economic benefits of these arrangements. Each of the previously mentioned agreements has very different approaches to addressing the key nuclear proliferation concern--should the United States support the continued spread of fuel cycle technologies, namely enrichment and reprocessing capabilities? I do hope we will really think about the details of this today." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Thomas M. Countryman.

From the Purpose and Summary: "H.R. 3525, the 'U.S. Border Patrol Medical Screening Standards Act,' improves on existing medical screenings performed by U.S. Border Patrol.

The bill provides deadlines for screenings to be completed and specifies elements that must be a part of the screening. These efforts would establish a consistent medical screening process to be carried out by trained personnel at all U.S. borders. To further improve medical screenings by U.S. Border Patrol, H.R. 3525 requires the Department to establish a pediatric medical presence along the border, research innovative solutions to address any capability gaps, and mandates the use of electronic health records for individuals in DHS custody.

This is the March 21, 2018 hearing titled "State and Non-state Actor Influence Operations: Recommendations for U.S. National Security" held before the House Committee on Armed Services. From the opening statement of William M. 'Mac' Thornberry: "Whether the term used is 'political warfare,' 'influence operations,' 'psycho-cultural warfare,' 'indirect warfare,' 'hybrid warfare,' or one of the many others that have been suggested, it is clear that the United States and our allies are under consistent attack using non-kinetic tactics designed to undermine and weaken us. We know that Russia intervened in a variety of ways to sow dissension during the 2016 election. History and now declassified documents establish that the former Soviet Union had a track record of active measures against NATO's [North Atlantic Treaty Organization's] deployment of intermediate-range missiles in Europe, for example, and those active measures included providing propaganda themes to peace movement groups, as well as organizational expertise, financial resources, forged U.S. military documents."
