U.S. law enforcement agencies have repeatedly called China the most significant state actor of threat to our country in cyberspace.

I think if we look at what we are doing, and I think this is what this committee hearing is about today, and how much funding we are doing to the Chinese government to be able to compete with us on those fronts, whether it is militarily…

The government is our biggest security risk because as it is mandating massive amounts of data to be collected...

I think this illustrates that we have some areas that we are still not really thinking about...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to congratulate you on taking the reins of this committee, and the ranking member.

They see that this body and its reckless spending is why we have record inflation in this moment. For that reason, I encourage my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the Presidential Election Reform Act, and then let's work together on something…

I am proud to join with Ranking Member Davis and my good friend Mr. Steil on a bill that we are pushing forward.

No Republican member of Congress led any kind of reconnaissance tours through the Capitol proven by security footage.

But no one in that group showed that type of aggression that day.

They've never sent me a letter asking me, never called me. I would have been glad to talk to them because it was nothing. There's nothing there.

The tour that he gave was a constituent family with young children and that they never entered the Capitol Building.

Whatever happens here, we have to keep in mind that every person in this room is an American citizen that has rights and freedoms and part of that right and freedom is to participate in a free and fair market economy.

Yes, if you really buy into a lot of what we heard here today, that it is the big corporations that are the problem and it is not the self-imposed destructive policies that have brought us to where we are right now.

I am almost speechless--not entirely, I have plenty to say--that we are here doing this, because obviously, some of my colleagues haven't learned anything from history, especially recent history.

If you don't need it, then discard it.

One thing I want to bring up that is homogeneous when it comes to campaign elections, Mr. Speaker, we live in an independent, diverse society where local governments are the greatest authority over the people. This is a takeover by the…

Had the government gotten in the way of the internet, we would still be using dial-up today to do a lot of what we are doing.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Can you hear me?

To the gentlewoman from California, I am prepared to close if she is. I reserve the balance of my time.

It is refreshing to know that there is so much we actually do agree on in this Chamber, because the things that my good friend from Texas just said, we agree on, and we have agreed on since Abraham Lincoln was the President. Madam Speaker…

80 percent of Americans support voter ID, and that did not surprise me in the least.

Voter ID laws are very popular and really an important safeguard for election integrity and the confidence of voters in the election process.

The propensity for poorly maintained voter rolls to undermine public confidence in election results

Every lawful vote be counted and that every qualified voter is able to vote safely

The integrity of our elections should be paramount as we exercise our role on this Committee to oversee the Federal elections process
