STEM education and educating the next generation is probably one of the most important things that we can do as a Nation.

We must continue to address this challenge, so I hope this first hearing on STEM education is one of many during this Congress.

This has serious consequences for individuals and for our Nation's economy.

I can personally vouch for the importance of educating our students in the STEM fields at all levels.

If the U.S. wants to remain the global leader in innovation and technology, we have to tackle these challenges with an 'all hands on deck' approach.

I have heard from many manufacturers that they are having a difficult time finding workers who have basic STEM knowledge.

One of the reasons I joined this Committee is because of my strong interest in working to improve STEM education.

The more data are open, the faster we will validate new theories and overturn old ones.

The movement toward open data is not primarily about scientific integrity; it is mostly about speeding up the process of scientific discovery and innovation.

The bigger challenge to the progress of science is not misconduct, but rather poor methodology and bad statistical analysis that take a long time to uncover.

The United States has for decades represented the world's gold standard for scientific integrity. But no one should mistake this observation as an argument for complacency.

It is vital that we translate as much federal research as possible to new products and new companies.

I am also concerned that top-line cuts to our federal R&D budgets will have a negative impact on any long-term cybersecurity strategy.

I am hopeful that our R&D bill will be part of a comprehensive bipartisan cybersecurity bill.

Today, it remains difficult to imagine just how much more we will simultaneously benefit from and be made more vulnerable by information technology.

Cybercrime threatens our national security, our critical infrastructure, businesses of all sizes, and every single American.

In a Republican House, hopefully, this time we can get it all the way through because our country especially needs it as the threats grow every year.

The most problematic issues threatening the NITRD program right now are the cuts and uncertainty in top-line R&D budgets.
