As I said in my opening statement, Mr. Chair, when we were created, we were created out of pieces of three organizations. There was absolutely no overhead, no corporation, no organization for a chair, no communication, audit, or planning. There was nothing. So for the first six months I had to create some sort of a SWAT team to keep us basically changing the wires in our house while the power was on. So we had to create the organization and still run 24/7 and deal with all of those challenges at the border, the in and out.
We had those thousands of men and women trying to protect the country. We had to do something. After six months I was surprised that we had been able to attract senior people to take these positions, to create a structure. So the challenge was moved from that task force to the real structure of the organization, but it was the same agenda, the same purpose.
