Appreciate the support of congress to resolve this extraordinary challenge. Thank you. Director jarvis, thanks very much. Because of the number of senators here, ill ask one question to get us started and recognize our colleagues. Director jarvis, for decades, the park service has recommended expanding the Oregon Caves National monument. And one of the primary reasons has been because the existing site is not large enough to protect the site, given the volume of visitors. So in the case of oregon caves, not expanding the site could actually increase the cost of maintaining a very unique resource.

According to the uber liberal New York Times Donald Trumps keynote address last week was designed to terrify voters the irresponsible rhetoric of our president who has used the pulpit of the presidency that divide us by race and color has made america a more dangerous environment than, frankly, i have ever seen. The problems we face now, poverty and violence at home, war and destruction abroad, will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them in the first place. President obama does not buy mr. Trumps observations. He paints optimistic picture. Its also important for the American People to remember that our crime rate in this country is much lower than it was in the 80s or the 90s or when i first took office. That immigration rates are substantially lower than they were when Ronald Reagan was president. That as serious as these terrorist attacks are.
