Ted Lieu

Every time you use that term, I believe you will now be intentionally misleading the American public.

I would like to spend some time discussing an issue that is very important to me and to many Members of Congress and that is the continued detention of women, children, and infants in prison-like conditions.

we are troubled by the Department of Homeland Security's continued detention of mothers and children in secure, jail-like facilities.

Forty-five years ago we sent a man to the moon and brought him back, so it's not as if our government can't contract with very complicated systems.

The Affordable Care Act was a disaster at rollout, and people--there were people that knew it was not ready and it launched.

I believe the problems that the press is encountering with FOIA to me is the latest indication of the brazenness with which some of our Federal agencies violate congressional law and the Constitution.

I believe the best protection for America and our way of life is not the NSA or the FBI, it's a free press.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, for holding this hearing to inform the public and policymakers about the threat of an EMP device.

As a recovering computer and science major, it is clear to me that creating a pathway for decryption only for good guys is technologically stupid.

The FBI is concerned that it's 'going dark.' But, all in all, the digital revolution has been an enormous boon to law enforcement.

I take great offense at your testimony today.

Curious, isn't it, that we now know so many secrets about the NSA not because of technology, but because we have human beings?

Strong encryption is absolutely critical to the preservation of law and order in the digital age much more than it is a threat to it.

So let's talk a little about computer code. It is true, isn't it, that computer code is neutral, that is, the code cannot tell if the person reading the code or accessing the code is Asian or the leader of Hamas or the FBI director or gay…

Just follow the damn Constitution.

The ultimate question is what will prevent more crime, which will make law enforcement's job easier overall and will keep us all safer.

It is the public that is asking for this.

And currently, right now, there is nothing preventing two people anywhere in the world from downloading an encryption program to encrypt end to end those two communications that would make this pathway essentially meaningless. Is that…

I would like to add my strong support for the program as you consider the fiscal year 2016 defense appropriations bill.

Unfortunately, the fiscal year 2016 budget does not include funding for the continued production of either the Super Hornet or the Growler.

As a lieutenant colonel in the United States Air Force Reserves who previously served on Active Duty, I have firsthand experience with the support this subcommittee provides to our men and women in uniform.

And the most immediate challenge that the F-18 confronts right now is that they may need to close a production line if they can't keep building these F-18 fighters.

She has given far more to American society than you and I ever will.

Last month, the Council of Economic Advisors released its latest economic analysis of the executive actions.

I think it is easy for people like you and me who wear suits and ties and work in offices to cast aspersions on those with a tenth grade education.
