And, therefore, today, as a customer of Yahoo!, I should feel how much better that my data is safe?

What seems to be missing to me, the assurance that, as a customer, however we define 'customer,' should have a sense that they're safer today than they were before.

Is it still the same probability of a breach occurring today or tomorrow as it was prior to the earlier breaches?

Does that statement mean that you would expect a breach?

Kansans are always delighted when there's snow in Colorado, assuming that the water will then come to our state.

This inequity significantly handicaps tribal authority to provide much needed government revenue for tribal programs and infrastructure.

Mr. Chairman, thank you very much.

Senator Moran's Tribal Tax Reform and Investment Act of 2017 (S. 1935) will spur much-needed economic development on Indian lands, promote tax fairness, strengthen tribal self-determination and recognize tribal sovereignty.

We especially appreciate and support Senator Moran's introduction of S. 1935.

The Commission has an important role in spotting emerging hazards and removing dangerous products from the marketplace.

I appreciate your interest in public service and want to see that we have highly qualified, motivated individuals to fill the jobs that you are willing to assume.

Thank you for joining us this morning on a hugely significant and unfortunately so timely topic.

I just would inform the Committee that the full Committee is contemplating hearings mid-October on the topic that we're discussing.

I will push for a measure that I propose that would provide such authority, expanded FTC powers.

The FTC has a duty to investigate and discipline Google or any other company for any illegal actions that may have unfairly disadvantaged competitors and limited consumer choice.

I also urge that the Justice Department proceed vigorously and promptly with a criminal investigation.

If the entities that hold our data can't be trusted to protect it, then the government needs to have the right tools to not only go after the hackers and thieves, but also the companies that treat our financial lives with such abandon…

The hearing will come to order. Good afternoon, and welcome to today's hearing on FTC Stakeholder Perspectives: Reform Proposals to Improve Fairness, Innovation, and Consumer Welfare.

It's critical that we address these issues to prevent future data breaches.

I've seen evidence of this in the crop insurance world where big data can mine information about fraudulent behavior.

Insurance fraud is a major concern not only for insurers--who bear the cost of fraudulent claim payouts--but also consumers, who see those costs passed on to them in the form of higher premiums.

Good morning, everyone. I call the hearing of this Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance, and Data Security to order.

I look forward to your confirmation and believe that you are totally worthy of the opportunity to serve Americans.

We want an FCC Commission that works together that, even in differences of views and policy perspectives, takes the higher road.

I consider Ajit one of the most intelligent and hard-working, diligent public servants that I've ever met in my time in Congress.
