“The authority already is expired. Every day we delay, our cyber defenders have less information to work with, and Americans are less safe. This isn't a partisan issue. It is about whether the United States can see and stop cyber threats before they are hit. The experts all agree the program is needed. The only people that benefit from inaction are the hackers who try to exploit our systems. I urge my colleagues to drop the politics and restore this critical act before any more American businesses or hospitals pay the price for our delay. I yield the floor.”
