I want the hackers to not be able to go to Monte Carlo as well as Miami.

I hope, certainly on public lands, that you will look to reintroducing those regulations, which are not terribly costly--at least, that is my understanding--but will be enormously beneficial in terms of the elimination of greenhouse gases.

I look forward to supporting your nomination.

The only thing worse than fighting with your allies is fighting without your allies.

To the extent that we have the international community and the establishment of some kind of international norms, red lines, guardrails, whatever you want to call them then things like sanctions are much more effective.

But there is no question that the day before or the days before, the city made it clear that they did not want the National Guard at the Capitol.

I hope that you will review the law---and I know that you supported it in the House--and be sure that the implementation is corresponding to the intent of Congress.

It seems to me that we need to think of how these authorities fit together and what the gaps are to be sure that we have the tools to protect ourselves.

The optics that you mentioned, that has sort of in this context become a bit of a pejorative term.

85 percent of the critical infrastructure in this country is owned by the private sector, and that's one reason that I think mandatory reporting is so critical.

Some kind of mandatory breach notification is also part of this package.

Should there be changes in the process or changes in the chain of command in an emergency situation to enable the National Guard?

I think that is very important, because we just--as I say, we do not want the United States Capitol to be so protected that it is inaccessible to the American people.
