Food security is national security, and it is important that we do everything we can to support and protect American-grown products.

Farm and food security is national security, and good farm policy isn't written by D.C. bureaucrats for D.C. bureaucrats.

Protecting U.S. farmland from being gobbled up by foreign adversaries is a matter of national security.

Myself and Representative Feenstra from this Committee put together something that we tried to make real, which is that when a foreign entity from an adversarial country tries to buy farmland, they would just go through a national security review.

This administration has held fast the position that national security concerns remain sacrosanct and out of bounds for multilateral body to consider.

We are not going to stand with them. We are going to designate them a Foreign Terrorist Organization because that is what they are.

Thank you again, Chairman Garbarino, Ranking Member Swalwell, and Members of the subcommittee for the opportunity to testify before you today on the critical subject of securing the industrial control systems vital to our Nation's water sector.

It is a national imperative to secure the foundational technology and infrastructure that underpins our Nation's most critical functions.

It is extremely rare to see legislative efforts that seek to reduce the oversight power of our chamber and our committee over matters of national security, but this, unfortunately, is one of those efforts.

We're going to make sure that we are building up our military.

To ignore our partners in the hemisphere is to ignore the critical realities that threaten our national security.

We can also check the PRC's presence in our own backyard. That is a bipartisan goal.

To me, that raises some serious legal and national security issues.

I want to reiterate that although issues of national security are important to all of our members, they are not under the jurisdiction of this Committee.

What measures do you believe Congress can take today to ensure that we prevent the influence of malicious foreign actors in and around our Nation's schools?

I think ensuring foreign powers do not have access to material that has not been shared with the American people is common sense.

We should not be allowing any of this information to be shared with, I think, any foreign entity.

If we are seen as a weak nation, we will be treated as such.
