House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Holds Hearing on Secret Service Oversight

ISSA:The committee will come to order.

The Oversight Committee exists to secure two fundamental principles. First, Americans have a right to know that the money Washington takes from them is well spent. And second, Americans deserve an efficient, 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 bureau-cracy. This is our mission and today's hearing follows one of the most important parts of that mission.

With $1.5 billion spent by the Secret Service, nearly a billion of that spent on protection of the first family, second family, former presidents and presidential candidates, the United States Secret Service was always considered to be the elite law enforcement agency made up of men and women who were highly regarded, highly respected and highly trusted. The country has placed great faith and trust in the Secret Service.

The agents of the uniformed division, their officers and the Secret Service agents have a monumental task: that of protecting the nation's presidents past, present and future. They do so honorably and not without considerable personal sacrifice. They ensure the safety of the first and second family, yes, and the safety of foreign dignitaries throughout Washington and at times around the world.

They ensure the safety of every man and women who enters the White House and accompa-nying buildings. But a history of misbehavior, security failures has clearly blemished that record. On September 19th, Omar Gonzalez jumped the north fence, ran across the White House lawn, up the steps of the north portico, and into the front door of the White House. He was armed with a three-inch serrated knife. He entered through an unlocked door, passed the staircase to the presidential residence, and into the East Room of the White House.

Ladies and gentlemen, that was the part of my opening statement that was changed last night when the early false report that in fact he had been apprehended just inside the front door was turned upside down by a revelation that in fact he penetrated much further into the White House. Secret Service officers only subdued him after he was clearly well inside the
