Dianne Feinstein

I'm working on legislation to require tech companies to report known terrorist activity on their platforms to law enforcement.

I think we're in a different day now. We're at the beginning of what could be cyber war.

You have a huge problem on your hands, and the United States is going to be the first of the countries to bring it your attention.

What we're talking about is the beginning of cyber warfare.

In response to damaging leaks, then-President Obama issued Presidential Policy Directive 19, PPD/19, parts of which were enacted into law, establishing procedures under which whistleblowers could report waste, fraud and abuse without fear…

The deficiencies in reprisal protections policies, procedures and standards in the evaluated agencies are causing a failure to provide reprisal protections for individuals making protected disclosures.

I think the time is coming very shortly when it should be declassified, and I'm heartened to see that, increasingly, members of Congress agree with that.

I have a great belief--to my knowledge, not a fact has been refuted in that 7,000-page report or the 500-page summary to date.

A complainant alleging reprisal for making a protected disclosure has a minimal chance to have a complaint processed and adjudicated in a timely and complete manner.

Interestingly, Anderson, Republicans who are normally sort of under the spell of the National Rifle Association are saying they may be on board with this.

Dianne Feinstein, senator from California, is introducing that kind of legislation right now.

Isolating the North Koreans has not halted their pursuit of nuclear weapons and President Trump is not helping the situation with his bombastic comments. In my view, diplomacy is the only sound path forward.

Absolutely, those two will come back to Capitol Hill and be in a public session.

Am I concerned? No. I'm not concerned because if they don't, they'll be subpoenaed.

Thank you very much. Thanks, Mr. Chairman.

It is my hope that you will take this as a signal of our intentions to continue providing funding in the years to come.

I would like to thank you for your decision in May to release the long-awaited grant agreement for Caltrain's Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project.

I've been on this Committee for a long time. I have never seen a time when, with full confidence, every single one of America's intelligence agencies have come together and say they have--they have full confidence that this was…

I don't think that we can sit here and see the amount of destruction that has been done, the defeat of a candidate, the intrusion into 21 State systems.

The United States of America cannot see the critical infrastructure of an American democratic election destroyed by Russia.

If you think about it, it is. If you think about the fact that it's conducted by intelligence agencies, we know Russian intelligence to be relentless and ruthless, and it all happened, and it contributed toward the defeat of an American…

I appreciate that and we can talk more about it. I hope you will be available.

I really do not know what it all means. It seems to me the Congress has an ability, too, to add money and that we should.

If this Administration continues to emphasize only ongoing work, how will the Corps be able to address new challenges?
