This legislation will ensure that our ports remain safe from both cyber and physical threats, which increases our national security posture. I commend my colleague from California (Mr. Calvert) for leading on this issue and working to strengthen our Nation's posture against our adversaries. Mr. Speaker, I urge support of this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
