  • Interim Report of the 114 Congress (As of 10/1/2016)
    HIGHLIGHTS OF ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS TH INTERIM REPORT OF THE 114 CONGRESS (AS OF 10/1/2016) RELEASED BY CHAIRMAN RON JOHNSON COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS UNITED STATES SENATE HIGHLIGHTS OF ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS TH INTERIM REPORT OF THE 114 CONGRESS (AS OF 10/1/2016) Under the leadership of Chairman Ron Johnson and Ranking Member Tom Carper, the Committee established a mission statement: “to enhance the economic and national security of America.” Over the past 21 months, the Committee has made real progress advancing this mission. The Committee’s work on oversight through hearings, inquiries, and investigations has identified and clarified significant economic and national security challenges facing the nation. And its collaborative work on bipartisan legislation has demonstrated that a committee of Senators with differing views about public policy can come together and find agreement in support of commonsense reforms. Senate Rule XXVI paragraph 8(b) requires each committee to submit to the Senate “a report on the activities of that committee” after the conclusion of each Congress. This interim report highlights the Committee’s activities through September 2016, serves as an update to an earlier report produced by the Chairman in January of this year, and will be updated again prior to submission to the Senate early next year. To improve national security, the Committee has worked to identify challenges and solutions to major threats facing our nation, including border and visa security; international drug trafficking and our nation’s insatiable demand for drugs; cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities; and the growing counterterrorism threat posed by ISIS and other militant Islamic extremists.
