The very purpose of Title 42 is to prevent the introduction of any dangerous communicable diseases into American communities.

As the United States finally gets a handle on managing the spread of new variants and moves steadily toward a post-pandemic recovery, now is not the time to end the use of Title 42 and jeopardize all that progress--especially as numerous…

Congress cannot sit idly by and watch the sovereignty of the United States be eroded.

In rolling back Title 42 authority, President Biden is intentionally jeopardizing the sovereignty and security of our Nation.

Are you sure you don't want to go first? Whatever, I can go.

I am confident that this is the best path forward.

We need a process for the Federal Government to identify which infrastructure is systemically important.

Congress must continue to facilitate public and private partnerships that are able to meet and repel these threats.

The potential for malicious Russian cyber activity, as well as attacks by other adversarial nations like China, Iran, and North Korea, is only increasing.

We are facing an unprecedented level of cyber attacks against our Nation's critical infrastructure.

The threats have advanced, the technology also needs to advance.

The legislation that was passed recently... is a step in the right direction.

I think that the information sharing between the public and private sector is absolutely critical.

We need to think about it in terms of the financial viability.

This is going to be the great challenge for the next how many years, I don't know.

It affects every aspect of our life.

My district, Long Island, suffered immensely from Superstorm Sandy almost 10 years ago and many... are still rebuilding their homes and businesses.

We talked about what FEMA was doing for its cyber programs. But Chairwoman Clarke and I just recently passed a State and local cybersecurity grant program which, when implemented, it is about a billion dollars.

I also remain committed to working to combat anti-Semitism and violence against all religious groups.

I remain committed to working with Chairwoman Demings to help strengthen our Nation's overall emergency preparedness posture by supporting programs like the Nonprofit Security Grant Program.

I hope we can all agree more resources for our State and local governments are necessary.

I am determined to work with the State and local officials and other stakeholders in New York's Second Congressional District and across the country to improve their cybersecurity posture in the wake of increasing threats.

As we enter 2022, we must keep a keen eye on the mid-term elections and ensure that voters can be confident that their vote will count.

If the past year has taught us nothing else, it's that no one is too small, no one is too big, we all must play a part in protecting ourselves from these attacks.

I am a proud original cosponsor of the Chairwoman's State and Local Cybersecurity Improvement Act, which would establish a grant program for State and local entities to improve their cyber posture.
