Year in Review: Chairman McCaul Lauds Comittee's 2017 Achievements

Statement

House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) released the following statement highlighting the Committee's many legislative accomplishments in the first session of the 115th Congress. This includes legislation to secure America's borders, protect against cyber-attacks, ensure that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) runs efficiently, and shield the homeland from both international and domestic threats. With 80 Committee bills passed this year, Politico recently named the House Homeland Security Committee the "hardest working Committee in Congress."

Chairman McCaul: "With each passing day, the threats facing our homeland continue to grow. The House has passed dozens of Committee bills aimed at bolstering our efforts to fight terror at home and abroad, secure and defend our borders, protect our digital networks from cyber intruders, improve information sharing and support America's first responders. In 2018, the House Homeland Security Committee will continue to lead the charge to do even more to protect our homeland. I look forward to working alongside my colleagues in both chambers of Congress, as well as our partners in the Executive Branch, next year to provide the direction and support needed to combat an ever-evolving threat landscape to keep the American people safe and secure."
