“I compliment the gentlewoman from Virginia in offering this amendment. Recently, the intelligence community raised national security concerns about the TikTok app and its ties to China. As we always and have been continuously informed, the Chinese are trying to get information on what we are doing every day of the week, every month, all the year. In response to this, TSA banned the use of TikTok by TSA employees on government-provided devices. Representative Spanberger's amendment is to be commended for recognizing that national security concerns about this app and successor apps will not go away over time and for authorizing this amendment to be codified in law. With that, Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.”
