Political Quotes

“I thank the chairman for including these amendments en bloc. I rise today in support of the en bloc, which contains two of my amendments. The first amendment would help identify the national security risk of autonomous vehicles from foreign adversary countries operating in the U.S. AVs will transform the future of transportation and increase safety on roads, but we must ensure our adversaries are not deploying data-collecting vehicles across our country, giving the likes of the CCP an unprecedented vantage point in the United States. The next amendment would help ensure our Department of Defense schools are not using TikTok for instructional purposes. As we know, ByteDance is beholden to the CCP, and we cannot allow our military installations or the schools operated by the DOD to become spy cells for the Chinese Communist Party. Mr. Chair, I urge adoption of the en bloc and the underlying bill.”
