I think we have enough resources to protect the privately owned critical infrastructure; I think we don't.

This bipartisan legislation confirms, once again, that Congress intends for DHS to be the primary Federal civilian interface with the private sector on cybersecurity.

I look forward to working with DHS to help the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency mature into an operational component and develop the capabilities needed to meet the challenges ahead.

Last night, after years of debate and negotiation, Congress sent H.R. 3359, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act, to the President's desk.

I am concerned that we are, once again, playing catch up with our adversaries.

This was a failure of policy, management, capability, and above all, a failure of imagination.

And this country is better than that. First of all, it is not true.

If a ball is rolling down the hill, the only way to stop it is to apply equal and opposite force.

Judge Kavanaugh, who relies heavily on the same textualist reading of the Constitution employed by former Justice Scalia, possesses a conservative judicial record that leads us to believe that voting rights, education, criminal law…

You just saw in Georgia where they--there was an attempt to close polling locations right before a gubernatorial race.

President Trump has seized on this opportunity to pack the courts by selecting judicial nominees who lack pragmatism and are often strikingly unqualified and proven intolerant bigots.

Section 2 is absolutely not sufficient.

it is taking far too long to fill senior positions like chief information officers

the Federal Government's always lagging behind the times and we are about 10 years back from where we should be in terms of our cybersecurity.

We have authorized and funded programs to defend our Federal networks, and this subcommittee has performed rigorous oversight over many of them this Congress.

I hope the majority will make CFATS a priority when we return from the August recess so we can avoid a temporary extension.

the tendency to undercut or diminish the role of authority figures, eliminating the cybersecurity coordinator is a good example

when it comes to Federal network security I see at least two systematic problems but they stem directly from the White House

It is no secret that Federal networks are an attractive target to our adversaries and cyber criminals alike.

All of those are to do harm, but you also see people that are coming across in search of better opportunity or safety for their families.

Did you make a request for or do you know if there was a request made for National Guard to support the border mission?

I believe the President directed both DOD and DHS, as to work together in conjunction with the State Governors, he has to deploy the Guard down at the border.

the sacrifice that your men and women make from the Guard to law enforcement is what makes this country special.

It is that narcotics production and the money associated with it that is making some of these homelands so violent with cartels.

Voting is a fundamental right and the foundation of our democracy and it is essential that we maintain confidence in the integrity of the ballot box.
