Representative Giffords and the Commandant departs a morning Border Security Briefing at University of Arizona
Originally uploaded by uscgpress
This morning I provided an overview of The Interdiction Committee's work for the Office of National Drug Control Policy at the University of Arizona at a meeting hosted by Representative Gabrielle Giffords. In attendance were our DHS partners who are crafting the Arizona Operations Plan for the border with Mexico and other federal, state, and local agencies. It was a wide ranging discussion on the challenges we face in securing our borders. The meeting will allow me to better carry out my duties as Chairman of the TIC and make recommendations to the Director, Office of National Drug Control Policy on interdiction guidance to federal agencies.
Thanks to Rep Giffords for hosting this event and her commitment to border security and the people of Arizona.
