One of the challenges, and I think we talked a little bit about this when I visited the NCCIC, where the NPPD operates and where you all are working, is how to quantify what the challenge is and how to track what is happening in a way so…

Cybersecurity is at the forefront of our national consciousness, and we hear every day about another cybersecurity challenge.

It is critically important that we in the government share among ourselves whatever information we have about cyber threats.

As you point out, we had a fascinating and informative trip to the southern border.

That is what I was going to ask. Can you identify the bad guy and then do you report that to law enforcement in some way?

I share the sentiments that have already been expressed, that it is very important for us to look at the budget for food aid and try to increase that, but that we also need to be as efficient as possible.

DOD works very closely with its interagency partners to ensure that it is building and implementing a whole-of-government approach to cybersecurity.
