Fortunately, President Biden's choices for the top three cyber professionals in the administration are real professionals.

I look forward to a constructive dialog on this important issue.

I am proud co-sponsor of the Entree Act, which would utilize unspent funds from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

Since being sworn into Congress, I have attempted to help many small businesses.

I think it is perpetuating an environment of fear right now in small business owners.

I don't think everybody should go to college. I think there is a lot of people... that you can become a plumber and then, all of a sudden, run a plumbing business.

If the administration fully revokes Title 42... is there enough funding for Border Patrol?

CISA needs to be a much highly--much more funded organization and needs to be really the centerpiece of the Government's cybersecurity.

I thank our Chairs for calling this important hearing, and I thank our witnesses for being here today.

I am a proud original cosponsor of the Chairwoman's State and Local Cybersecurity Improvement Act.

I am determined to work with hospitals, schools, and small businesses in New York's Second District and across the country to improve their cybersecurity posture in the wake of increasing threats.

I have no further speakers, I urge Members to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I don't need them getting their foothold back in. It was not good for my district. It wasn't good for New York. It is not good for the country.

We usually--I know Congress--the committee is usually notified when these are announced. I don't believe we received any notification.

I support my colleague because there are a lot of different costs that will affect small businesses here.

I am happy that so many of my colleagues have spoken in favor tonight of the need to help restaurants.

The government keeps moving the goalpost.

These small, family-owned entrepreneurs need our help and assistance, and they need it now.

Small businesses across the country have been crippled, not just by the effects of but also the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The recent SolarWinds cyber espionage campaign launched by a sophisticated nation-state actor, likely Russia, is one of the worst intrusions of U.S. Government and private-sector networks in our Nation's history.

I will be tough on all companies influenced by the Chinese Communist Party, as well as any other nefarious nation-state actors.
