I urged the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Education to improve their coordination efforts to protect K-12 schools from cyberattacks.

In 2018, the New Hampshire legislature passed a law requiring the State Department of Education to establish minimum standards for the privacy and security of student data.

I take to heart the relationship-building part of it when you speak with task forces post terrorist events, for instance.

In at least some cases can interrupt student learning time, too.

Only the Federal Government can do that, in my opinion.

And priorities, yes.

Can you share with us some of the ways that New Hampshire schools have worked together to reduce the burden of expensive cybersecurity tools and services?

It is really important.

Is it fair to say--I am looking at kind of how we talk about what K-12 schools in New Hampshire, what steps they have taken to date to implement this law.

How are K-12 schools involved in the process of applying for and awarding this Federal grant in New Hampshire?

I spearheaded an effort to create a Federal grant program specifically targeted at improving the cybersecurity of State and local governments.

Thank you very much both on the prosecution side of things, but on the prevention side of things for similar attacks to continue.

I think it is also important that people understand the impacts of a cyberattack on a K-12 school system.

I want to keep that going.

I think that cybersecurity culture evolution is a bit ahead of privacy cultural evolution in organizations.

These new laws, requirements, right?

I truly appreciate the discussion today. I thank you all for coming before the Subcommittee to discuss what is clearly a really important topic to a lot of us.

We have to fix this. We have to get this right.

I was really proud to work with everyone here on a bipartisan basis to develop and pass the PACT Act into law.

It has already helped over 1,000 New Hampshire veterans enroll in VA health care and file more than 2,000 disability claims.

This is really an important--I am using the term 'customer service' but I do not think it really conveys how important it is, especially if you are somebody with a medical issue or disability, long travel can be really difficult.

One of the things that I think we could do, in addition to pursuing Government investments in boosting the demand for new antibiotics, is to look at ways we could leverage the tax code to provide incentives to startups so that they would…

Well, thank you for that. And that takes me to my last question, which is to Dr. Apley.

One of the things that I think we could do, in addition to pursuing Government investments in boosting the demand for new antibiotics, is to look at ways we could leverage the tax code to provide incentives to startups so that they would…

I am joining Senator Tillis and colleagues to support a follow-up bill that would further expand access to trained service dogs for veterans.
