Mr. President, I rise today in support of the cyber security information bill introduced by my colleagues, Senators Burr and Feinstein. I want to commend my colleagues and their staff for their leadership and for their tireless efforts on…

I appreciate the yielding by Senator Whitehouse. Let me just say that if your provision, Senator Whitehouse, does not end up in this bill and we actually do pass it, I am sure we will conference with the House. There will be an opportunity…

Mr. President, I stand to join in with the voices we have already heard from, including Senator Murphy of Connecticut and Senator Portman of Ohio--bipartisan, of course--who have stood in support of the unanimous consent request of Senator…

Mr. President, I thank Senator Hatch for his leadership on this important issue. As the Senator from Utah has mentioned, trade secrets are the only form of intellectual property not protected from theft under Federal civil law, which is…

I thank Senator Hatch for the opportunity to go into more detail about this terrific bipartisan, bicameral Defend Trade Secrets Act. It is actually relatively simple. It creates a Federal private right of action for misappropriation of…
