I appreciate this opportunity for the first hearing of this calendar year. In my view of todays hearing, we present the American People with a false choice. Its very premises suggests that we can either keep america safe or preserve our fundamental values. I reject that promise. We can and must defeat terrorism without sacrificing our principles. To compromise these principles and blame over a billion muslims for the twisted actions of an extremist view only serves to divide america, to alienate and legitimate the load groups that falsely claim to speak for islam.

But its more about 9 equipment and the ongoing efforts by the faa to modernize the control towers. Last week there was an article in the a. P. It ran across the country and including in my district in las vegas. And the article was entitled union new airport towers must be remodeled before opening. In the article, mr. Rinaldi, you specifically identified the new control tower in las vegas saying it requires an overhaul before it can be operational. I reached out to our local controllers, our safety engineers and the faa because im concerned this overdue project is going to have to be delayed even further due to a failure by the faa. And im also worried that people around the country are going to read there might be a problem flying into las vegas and might not want to come there and we certainly cant have that. So what i learned is our con
Whats the latest . Reporter as you mentioned deirdre the fbi initially released redacted transcript of omar mateens first call to a 911 dispatcher at 2 18 a. M. Sunday morning.
