This committee has yet to hold a single hearing on these Russian hacks.

Taking the teeth out of the CFPB is not the answer.

These potential benefits are important but these new financial products should have consumer protections attached to them.

Technological advances are making financial transactions more convenient and efficient.

This hearing is an update to last Congress' hearings on mobile payments and digital currencies.

The CFPB was created to protect consumers from fraud and financial products.

We need to up our game if we intend to defend against a growing number of cyberattacks facing the health care sector.

The health care sector must pay 'immediate and aggressive attention' to cybersecurity.

The federal government continues to make progress toward addressing vulnerabilities in the health care sector, but it is clear that we still have a lot of work to do.

I believe we still have a long way to go to improve our preparedness in this area and I look forward to hearing how this committee intends to hold HHS accountable moving forward.

The federal government continues to make progress towards addressing vulnerabilities in the health care sector.

As I have stated at past hearings regarding new technologies, privacy, data security, and cybersecurity must be baked into the devices and the software.

This hearing will explore the new and innovative ways consumers will receive goods in the future and in some cases right now.

It is my opinion that this discussion draft needs a lot of work if it is going to actually address the problems we see in the Safe Drinking Water Act

The source water protection provisions in the statute have proven ineffective, and that is why my bill would create an entirely new program to ensure source water protection.

The biggest challenge is clearly the lack of funds, but I want to quickly touch on a few others.

We have seen numerous serious problems in the Safe Drinking Water Act that should be addressed in any legislation this committee passes to amend the Safe Drinking Water Act.

I urge my colleagues to look at the real solutions in the bills that my democratic colleagues and I have introduced.

It simply does not meet the needs of public water systems and the communities they serve.

Unfortunately, this rushed hearing is not sufficient to address this issue.

The safety of our drinking water is an incredibly important topic which deserves more time than we have at today's hearing.

The Drinking Water SRF has been a tremendous success. I am grateful that Chair Shimkus has undertaken the first funding reauthorization since its inception in 1996.

I appreciate you holding this hearing and offering the discussion draft to bring attention to our hidden infrastructure.
