Maggie Hassan

I was delighted to hear your testimony and by the recent announcement from CISA about the Joint Cyber Defense Task Collaborative.

I introduced legislation with Senator Cornyn last Congress to codify the program, and we are working on reintroducing CDM legislation this Congress.

Next week I am going to lead a Subcommittee hearing on the Federal Government's IT management resources.

Nothing like being at National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) in mid-July in Loudon, New Hampshire, our biggest single event of the year, and realizing that our stands were partly empty because the Canadians who usually…

I have to say I was very disappointed with the administration's decision yesterday about the Canadian border.

I do not understand the public health rationale here at all for closing the Northern Border to vehicular traffic when it is essentially open to air traffic.

Section 230 needs a serious overhaul, and you can lead on that process.

More needs to be done, and we believe that the Pray Safe Act is an important step in that process.

We cannot lose sight of international terrorist threats, and I want to ensure that DHS has the personnel and resources needed to address both types of threats.

The Internet, as Senator Hassan and a lot of our experts pointed out, has exacerbated the problem.

The Administration must be more transparent and provide the necessary data for us to have a comprehensive understanding of the current threat landscape.

I also think then that there is an important relationship between the National Counterterrorism Center and the Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTF), and the fusion centers, that they can share information.

I think there is an important role, the National Counterterrorism Center has increasingly --and I think this is important to recognize that we talk about domestic terrorism, including here.

I was pleased to see that the first pillar of the Biden administration's new national strategy for counter and domestic terrorism includes a goal to improve information sharing.

I want to thank you and Chairman Peters for holding this hearing.

We think the Pray Safe Act is incredibly important.

Everyone, no matter their age, job, income level, gender or race, deserves the chance to build financial certainty.

Extending section 420 also raises revenue, allowing funding of a variety of spending and other priorities.

The ARA supports Senator Smith's Financial Factors in Selecting Retirement Plan Investments Act.

We want every American to be able to save for a dignified retirement, and that is really what this is all about.

I think it is an excellent observation.

Senator Collins and I have a bill to help address this issue by incentivizing employers to make military spouses immediately eligible for retirement plan participation.

I also just want to recognize how important ABLE accounts have been to people with disabilities.

We are very strongly supportive of improving coverage for part-time workers.

This new deadline to adopt a beneficial discretionary amendment is consistent with the deadline to adopt a new retirement plan.
