Every year, hundreds of thousands of people fall victim to Internet fraud so it's really clear we need to improve our cybersecurity awareness and education. There are some who are especially vulnerable to falling victims to this fraud. So I think that this amendment by Mrs. McCarthy and Mr. Kratovil is a very good amendment. I know that certainly I have seen and have had experience with people, especially those who are elderly, falling victim to crimes. I've had them come to my office and have problems about that and trying to clear that up. So I think this is an especially good amendment, and I urge my colleagues to support it.

I have always been a strong advocate for Amtrak, because it provides an important public service: national passenger rail service.

I don't think that your decision to furlough these 2,000 employees is going to save the day.

I hope you take very seriously the credibility that you will lose by engaging in these furloughs.
