Washington, D.C. - Congressman David Price (D-NC) is leading a bipartisan delegation of House members to Southeast Asia this week to monitor the work of the Department of Homeland Security in the region.

The trip will help the leaders gain a greater understanding of the department's coordination with foreign governments to enhance the security of US-bound cargo, international cooperation on anti-terrorism, and issues related to international adoptions.

The itinerary includes meetings and tours with DHS and State Department officials in the region, as well as with foreign leaders. The delegation will make stops in the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Vietnam. Price is joined by Reps. John Carter (R-TX), Sam Farr (D-CA), Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA), Mike Honda (D-CA), and Mazie Hirono (D-HI). Most of these members sit on the Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, which Price chairs.
