Fence jumper into the white house. Members question Julia Pierson about the breach and whats being done to improve white house security. This is three and a half hours. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] the committee will come to order. The Oversight Committee access to secure fundamental principles. First americans have a right to know money washington takes from them is well spent and second americans deserve an efficient and effective government that works for them. Our duty on the oversight and Government Reform Committee is to protect these rights. Our solemn responsibility is to hold government accountable to taxpayers. It is our job to work tirelessly in partnership with citizen watchdogs to bring genuine reform to the federal bureaucracy.

We need to make sure the second isdest target on earth through with reality and in the minds of anyone who might take on the secret service to get to the president or first family. Without a recognized the member for his Opening Statement. Thank you. With an obvious premise. No individual should be allowed to feel scaled the fence at the white house, sprint across the north lawn, and burst into the residence of the first family with 11. No one. Our goal today is also clear, to determine how this happened and make sure it never happens again. This is our watch. This recent incident unfortunately causes many people a ask whether or not there is much broader problem with the secret service.

The Washington Post story says this agent subsequently reported her concerns to investigators. Was there an afteraccident report about the 2011 shooting . Did it include recommendations related to agents reporting their concerns without fear of being criticized . Do you know . I dont know.

Let me say this, and then i will close. Former director sullivan
