Maxine Waters said "Mr. Speaker, cybercriminal syndicates, supported by North Korea and rogue states like Russia, are already exploiting financial technologies to evade sanctions, fund war and terrorism, and destabilize democracies. Ignoring these threats is not an option. This working group is an initial robust approach to gain an understanding of how to address these terrorism threats and prepare to meet and predict them. I thank Representatives Nunn and Himes for introducing this bill, and I, again, urge my colleagues to support it." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
