Congressional Testimonies

Thank you Chairman Burr, Vice Chairman Feinstein, and members of the Committee.  I appreciate this opportunity to be here today to discuss the worldwide terrorist threat and our efforts to counter it.

Thank you Chairman McCaul, Ranking Member Thompson, and members of the Committee. I appreciate this opportunity to be here today to discuss the threat posed by foreign fighters and homegrown terror, and our efforts to counter it.

Chairman Feinstein, Vice Chairman Chambliss, and members of the Committee, let me start by thanking you all very much for considering my nomination to be the next Director of the National Counteterrorism Center.

As I conclude three years as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, I also want to express my deep appreciation to the Committee for its unflagging support of the men and women at the National Counterterrorism Center and our counterterrorism community, as a whole.

NCTC Director Olsen and I don’t often testify in open hearings, and so we see today as an important opportunity to share our understanding of an evolving, dynamic terrorist threat with the Committee and with the American public.
