Well, first of all, the statements I've made already are the principal message that I want to communicate to the American public. We haven't seen anything unusual. We know of no threat. Secondly, we have gone to Congress repeatedly asking for more authority to counter drone activity, and we have also asked for more authority to give to the state and local governments

officials under our supervision because it correctly notes those authorities need to be expanded.

What do you say to the Congress? Well, first of all, we have experts, and he should not diminish... the extent of their expertise and the extent of their dedication to the well-being of the American people. These are individuals who dedicate their careers to the safety and security of the United States of America, number one.

Number two, it's not as though anyone can just take down a drone in the sky. That in and of itself would be dangerous. Do you have the authority to shoot down drones? Our authorities are very limited. That is precisely why we have gone to Congress to expand those authorities.
