Jerry McNerney: “Small businesses are becoming a major target of cyber-attacks as we've heard.”

I am pleased that the President's job plan and fiscal year 2022 budget request for the Department would establish robust programs to revitalize and strengthen our domestic manufacturing sector.

I am concerned that our security technologies may not be keeping pace.

I want to thank you and the Department of Energy for leading the whole-of-government approach in restoring operations of the Colonial Pipeline following the recent cyber attack.

One of the bills we are considering today is H.R. 4530, legislation that I authored, which would establish an office of technologists at the FTC.
