Good morning, everyone. The Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security will come to order.The subcommittee today is meeting to hear testimony from Paul Stockton, the assistant secretary of defense for Homeland Defenseand America's Security Affairs; Mark Borkowski, who is CBP's Office of Technology Innovation and Acquisition chair; Dr. Adam Cox, acting deputy director of the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects; and Michael Tangora, of the U.S. Coast Guard-he is the deputy assistant commandant for acquisition on the use of Department of Defense technology by the Department of Homeland Security. So, fantastic witnesses that we have here today.Let me just recognize myself for an opening statement. We think that three main tools have really been brought to bear to help secure our Nation's porous border: Personnel, of course; infrastructure; and technology. We have nearly doubled the size of the U.S. Border Patrol since 2004, and we have built nearly 650 miles of vehicle and pedestrian fence. We have spent nearly $1 billion as a Nation on the now-cancelled Secure Border Initiative, SBInet, and we have had a number of hearings on that in this committeeand our full committee, as well.
