We will come to order we welcome the acting commissioner of cbp mark morgan thank you for being here today we look forward to getting your perspective on cbp priorities and requirements fiscal year 2021 the budget proposes 15. 6 billion of Discretionary Spending by cbp and increases 714 million above the current your level of the total includes 2 billion of 82 miles of barriers and 625 over the current year appropriation for nearly 80 percent of the total fy 2021 increase for cbp overall. I have obvious concerns for spending another 2 billion on border barriers but aside from any debate this administration continues to circumvent the will of congress by diverting millions of dollars for what congress specifically appropriates for this activity. The house bill does not include the funding. Even more to the point of funding proposed would crowd out other investments we all agree our high priority. For instance it is unclear how many officers are funded or sustained in this Budget Congres

Town is gone. People who live there say there were no warning sirens to alert them as the flames moved towards their homes. Billions of dollars it is going to cost to repair the damage. It is going to take many years to do that. Many of the one of the most Famous Landmarks In Lahaina is the largest banyan tree in the us. It is a majestic fig tree, 150 years old. It was a big tourist attraction. Look at it now. All burnt. Their branches are damaged by the flames. Just a bit of the history of that area left standing. Entire neighbourhoods have been destroyed. The worst hit area has been lahaina, the beach front town popular with tourists, where entire neighbourhoods and hotels have been destroyed. These are the before and after pictures. Lahaina is a Historic Town on the western tip of maui. Its centre dates back to the 1700s and is on the Us National Register of historic places. At least 270 buildings have been destroyed in the picturesque resort, which is home to about 12,000 people. T
