Chairman McCaul on the hearing: "With the interconnected nature of our world, threats to the homeland are only a flight away. Effective coordination at all levels of government and with our international partners is vital for all aspects of our security, whether it be working to combat the threat posed by terrorists such as ISIS, addressing the porous Southwest border or the prevention of Ebola reaching our shores. At this hearing key federal and state officials will discuss the efforts that have been taken to respond to the first case of Ebola in the United States. We will also examine ways we can continue to improve our preparedness and capabilities, particularly when it comes to screening passengers entering the country."
