I hope that we can work to reward and encourage developments like those that we're hearing about today.

No single Federal agency has the wherewithal to know all aspects of the system and how to correct it.

But what I understand has happened with this. With the text that we're dealing with is that we may be in a situation here where FERC is able to bypass that stakeholder process with--which is not the intention.

I agree. It's getting tougher instead of easier.

Congress must provide government agencies with the authority to respond to cyber security threats and their vulnerabilities and do so in a timely manner.

Let's do it. So that's imminent. You got to act quickly. You got to act decisively. Let's do it.

The 2007 Aurora experiment by the Department of Energy and the Idaho National Lab put us all on notice of dangers of a cyber attack.

I think we recognize that the danger that is posed to our Nation's electric infrastructure from a possible cyber attack is very clear.

When we're talking about the EMP attack or geomagnetic disturbances, these are not new in the sense that we're just now learning of them.

Discussion about a Clean Energy Deployment Administration I think is certainly an important one, certainly timely.

I conclude that you view CEDA as yet one more tool, that it is not necessarily something that replaces loan guarantees or replaces tax credits or the other financing mechanisms or opportunities out there.

I'm way over my time, but, Mr. Reicher, if you want to.

I don't have additional questions. I'm just pondering what Ms. Yanosek said about the importance--you don't call it the valley of death.

When you look to the purpose of CEDA, to address the persistent inability of clean energy projects to obtain financing, I think you will have folks say, well, why haven't we figured this one out earlier?

Back in 2005 with passage of the Energy Policy Act, we took a major step toward addressing the problem by creating the loan guarantee program there at DOE.

I wish to speak about a resolution designating April 15 through 17, 2011, as Global Youth Service Days'' that recognizes and commends the significant community service efforts that youth are making in communities across the country and…

I am hoping we do that today.

I think it has meaningful consequence and unfortunately, possibly negative consequence if we're looking at a lot of the deferrals.

I want to bring up the National Ocean Policy and the framework for the coastal and marine spatial planning.

Give us the environmental data, but don't include us in that marine spatial planning at this point in time.

I am concerned, however, that because of budget limitations in 2011 we won't be able to perform all the crucial fishery surveys in Alaska this summer.

We are very concerned about it, having sat down with Jane Lubchenco and talked about this...

Well, we would like to be kept abreast on that because the concern, of course, is that if the startup funds aren't in place, then program implementation may be delayed. I don't think that anyone gains from that.

What we really need is environmental data collection, mapping, integration, and all of that.

Thank you for your leadership.
