Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding me time. Just to close, I want to echo Congressman Ratcliffe in observing it is National Police Week, so we have the opportunity to highlight the successful efforts that have already taken place to combat cybercrime. As the operator of the National Computer Forensics Institute, the Secret Service has demonstrated its excellence and diligence in pursuing cybercrime both domestically and internationally. Its investigations have produced more than 4,000 arrests, involving more than a billion dollars in fraud, and saving the public billions of dollars more in potential fraud that would have taken place absent their intervention. H.R. 1616 will strengthen these efforts in continuing to combat cyber and electronic crime.
