On the recordFebruary 3, 2010
Mr. Chairman, I want to commend Ms. Sanchez for her work on this amendment and also on cybersecurity in general on the Homeland Security Committee. From my time as a university professor, I understand the importance, first of all, of the cooperation between the private sector and universities. It is something that I feel very strongly about. We need to improve that; and certainly in cybersecurity, it is especially important. The other thing that I understand is the need to have information, and the more information sharing that we can have, the better we can do with cybersecurity. This amendment helps accomplish both of those things, so I strongly encourage my colleagues to support and vote for this amendment.
