The drafting process. This briefing from the customs and Border Protection headquarters is 35 minutes. Good afternoon everyone. The president , as we all know, has issued three executive orders related to our Homeland Security commission. This will keep our homeland safe by keeping up terrorists out of our countries. I would like to talk about what it does and does not mean. This is not a travel ban. This allows us to review the vetting system. Over the next 30 days, we will analyze and view our system. We will then provide our partners 60 days to cooperate and revise. This way we can make sure the system is doing what it was designed to do which is to protect the American People. This analysis is long overdue and strongly supported by the organizations career intelligence officials. We will speak to that in more detail shortly. Furthermore, this is not, i repeat, not a ban on muslims. The Homeland Security mission is to protect the American People, our homeland, our values, and religi

I think its the wrong move for Senior Citizens of this countryv who depend on medicare and orsi medicaid, people of all ages. Its clearly the wrong move for our country. I yield the floor. The senate is now debating the nomination of steven minh ah nguyen to be the secretary of treasury. This is yet another nomination on which the majority has walked away unfortunately from a 20 year approach when it comes to the vetting process. Vet the vetting issue came up and both sides of the finance committee carried thee investigation out to its conclusion, the situation has turned out quite differently this time. There were several properties il the United States and abroad where there was a hundred Million Dollars missing from the disclosure. He failed to disclose several in he m he misled the public and the committee about the foreclosure tactics and he appears to have hidden key data requested by members of this body. Frankly, i dont believe these investigations wouldve been uncovered at all
Is now debating its nomination of Steven Mnuchin to be the and this of treasury is another nomination on which the majority has walked away unfortunately from a 20 year bipartisan approach when it. Omes to the vetting process in 2009, when geithner was the first treasury nominee, a vetting issue came up in both sides of the finance committee carried the investigation out to its conclusion, but the situation has turned out quiet differently this time. There were several properties in the United States and abroad where 100 million in missing Steve Mnuchins disclosure. He failed to disclose several areas several positions. He misled the public, he misled , and he appears to have hidden key data that was requested by members of this body. Frankie, i dont believe these investigations would have been uncovered at all if not for the work of the investigations team. Themajority however, looked other way, and the vetting process was ended prematurely. So the vote on this nomination is eminent.
