I want to thank the Senators for their continued leadership on this important cybersecurity issue.

The IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act provides basic security standards that are necessary for protecting government data.

I know on the outside it may look like we don't get along, but I just hosted something I called 'Breaking Bread,' and there were 75 of us, Democrats and Republicans, that ate together.

I find this conversation very interesting. I used to work on a college campus.

I am honored to introduce, with Congressman Steve Chabot, H.R. 2408, the Protecting Girls' Access to Education Act.

In order to adequately address the significant issues that currently face GSA, it's going to require cooperation and a willingness to be held accountable in order for you to restore faith in the agency.

Will you commit today to respond to requests, like you said you would, from Members of Congress regardless of whether they are Republicans or Democrats or whether they are in the majority or the minority of Congress?

Every Member of Congress has a constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight of the Executive branch in order to inform our legislative actions.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Giving women and girls access to quality education not only increases their economic potential, but it is directly related to conflict prevention and reducing gender gaps.

Yes. I totally agree with my colleague.

I have a lot of concern and a recent article by Mike Mullin and James Jones, two distinguished military leaders, specifically cited cuts to USAID as risking U.S. national security.

The Department's mission is to shape and sustain a peaceful, prosperous, just, and democratic world.

I was disappointed by the Trump administration's recent decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and retreat into diplomatic isolation.

Thank you, Chairmen Rice and Hurd and Ranking Member Larson, for holding this important hearing.

When I saw what this topic was, I was really surprised because I have worked on every level of government and outside of government, and when I became a Member of Congress, so many of the people that came to work for me had to take pay…

The Action for Dental Health Bill you are considering could positively affect every patient in my practice, which is why I am so passionate about it.

This is really important legislation.

This bill would take several steps to support and improve dental health for some of our most vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly.

Congress can and should swiftly pass streamlined critical pay reauthorization and act to provide adequate resource levels for cybersecurity at all agencies.

If you don't fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition.

This reckless slashing of the State Department and USAID limits America's influence and leadership in the world.

Maintaining a robust diplomatic presence around the world is vital to U.S. national interests, as you know.

Cutting foreign aid is not only bad policy; it is also dangerous, as you have heard.

Having a Federal CIO in place is critical to ensuring that agencies are being provided the necessary guidance.
