“Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Mr. Langevin, the other cochair of the Cybersecurity Caucus, for all of his work. I want to thank Ranking Member Johnson for her work, Chairman Hall, and especially Mr. McCaul for coming together on this bill. We started this in the last Congress. Hopefully, we will get it finished in this Congress. We know that cyberthreats are everywhere-- from cyberarmies that are threatening our Nation to cybercrime that threatens the financial security of all Americans. This bill addresses three key pieces of protecting our Nation: improving education, R&D, and the development of standards. All of these are key pieces we have to continue to develop as the threats develop, and this will help us to do that. So I want to urge my colleagues to vote for this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Let me first recognize Mr. Lipinski for his excellent leadership. We've been pushing this bill. It's the second Congress in which we've pushed it. I certainly hope that this time it goes to the Senate and gets signed into law. Mr. Lipinski, you've been a real leader on cybersecurity. It has been an honor to serve with you on the Science and Technology Committee together. Let me, again, thank you for all of your great efforts.…”
