Devin Nunes: “At this time I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. McCaul), the chairman of the Homeland Security…”

“At this time I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. McCaul), the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, who, without his strong leadership and support, we wouldn't be at this juncture today getting a bill passed today and tomorrow that will hopefully become law. Mr. McCAUL. Madam Chair, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 1560, the Protecting Cyber Networks Act. I would like to first thank Chairman Nunes for his great leadership and collaboration with my committee and Judiciary on this bill, and also the ranking member, Adam Schiff, a good friend as well, for his great work in the direction that this bill has gone. I think it has gone in the right direction. Also I know former Ranking Member Dutch Ruppersberger was here. I want to thank him for his leadership over the many years on this important issue of cybersecurity. Madam Chair, this legislation comes at a critical time of rising cyber threats and attacks on our digital networks. Cyber breaches and attacks are affecting Americans' privacy, security, and prosperity. Individuals are having their most private information compromised. Businesses are seeing their intellectual property stolen and their networks damaged. The Federal Government's sensitive information is being targeted. The country's critical infrastructure is being probed by foreign enemies.…”
