I am prepared to close. In closing, I want to again thank Mr. Lieu and Chairman Royce. It seems to me, Mr. Speaker, that we have been caught flatfooted before a range of new threats, including cyber attacks. Our agencies have not done enough to root out vulnerabilities, and, frankly, Congress hasn't done enough either to make sure our agencies across the government have the tools they need to tackle these challenges. I hope going forward we will be able to take a comprehensive look at cyber threats and make sure the State Department, and all our departments and agencies, are up to the task. For now, this bill is a good step in the right direction. It replicates an approach that has worked well over the last few years. Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to support it, and I yield back the balance of my time.
