Edward Markey actually said...

"The Congress shouldn't require a specific technology, but it should require a standard."

"We need to put in place the highest possible standards."

"Do you want to spend the money to keep up with this technological arms race that you necessarily have to because it is concomitant with the electronic era that each of these companies are embracing?"

"It is going to cost more money, but it is the right thing to do."
