your dedication to public service is clear, and the people of Utah, Massachusetts, and the United States are better off due to your years in elected office.

We obviously cannot cover all potential threats to national security in one short hearing, but I did want to give each of you a chance to share any final thoughts on topics that we maybe have not sufficiently addressed already.

During my time in the Senate, I have focused on reducing the Federal Government's reliance on aging technology in order to save taxpayer dollars, improve security, and obviously provide better service to the American people.

I do not think legacy systems will necessarily prevent us from implementing AI, but I do think that the Federal acquisition workforce needs to be more trained on making that analysis.

I helped lead a bipartisan effort to codify the General Service Administration's IT Modernization Centers of Excellence, including the Center of Excellence for Artificial Intelligence.

I am really glad we are having this hearing. I am really grateful to all of you for being here and being a part of it.
