So the president issues a strategy and says,
"Look, I want all of these components to work together to achieve this."
Well, we all know that people are busy, they have their own priorities.
These are Cabinet-level officials.
So how do you bring people together to share a set of goals
and then, more importantly, to put time and resources into those goals?
That's key.
And at the end, Congress is going to, as they often do,
ask some very tough questions like, "Well, how did everybody work together?
How did you achieve the goals of working together?"
CBP is very much the same way.
We're a part of the Department of Homeland Security.
But just as importantly, we have to work closely
with the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense and others.
So I had five years of bringing together the interagency
to agree on goals and to put resources into achieving those goals.
It helped that you had the imprimatur of the president,
but we actually have the imprimatur of the secretary and the administration
to do exactly that and that's, that's going to be key for us.
