It is wonderful to hear people not sniping from side-to-side, which is all being on the same page about what we need to do in a bipartisan manner.

I want to thank all of the commissioners for their work on the Cyberspace Solarium Commission and congratulate them on producing a game-changing report and recommendations.

Grace Ellen Gallagher came to this world not too long ago, and we welcome her in.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, I appreciate your comments.

It is a terrible thing to lose anyone at the border in custody. It is a terrible thing ever to lose them if they are a child.

Did the State of Illinois get stockpiles of PPE that were being brought in and then you decide where to disperse them throughout the State?

The scanning technology is far better than it was 2, 3 years ago, and we would welcome more funding for that through TSA.

Lawmakers have a responsibility to maintain positive and be responsive to both of these concerns.

As the House of Representatives considers further legislation in response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID- 19) pandemic, I rise to call for the equitable distribution of federal relief to tribal nations. Despite the dire impact this…

There is, literally, hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars' worth of damages on this shoreline that can be proven, but they don't fall into the FEMA bucket.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate that. I am going to kind of give you a fact pattern, and then maybe we can work from that fact pattern, because I think it would be instructive here.

I introduced H.R. 4358, the Preliminary Damage Assessment Improvement Act, that would help clarify the support FEMA provides on damage assessments.

It may not rise to the level of a big disaster for a place like New York City, but it is devastating for people in upstate New York.

I look forward to working with you, Chairwoman Titus, on critical issues of this Subcommittee as Ranking Member.

For them, it was catastrophic. For FEMA it was a blip on a screen, and they didn't get any money.

I voiced some of my concerns about FEMA, not so much how it is managed, but some of the Byzantine rules you have to go through to try and get disaster relief.

I will yield back, but I just want to note in Syracuse, New York they are going to start building a 5G manufacturing facility, the first one in the country that is going to have all American components, which is critical for cybersecurity…

Thank you very much. It does sound like there is going to be more requests, from a financial standpoint, from the committee and from other committees to implement these plans.

I really believe that the next 9/11 could absolutely, positively be, God forbid, a cyber attack that is cataclysmic.

I view this Solarium report as one of the critical things we can do in Congress this year.

This is the inherently bipartisan effort we are all involved in, and we should proceed in that manner.

I want to echo the sentiments of my colleague, the Chairman, about the cyber solarium and the work that has been done on it.

Cutting CISA's budget is not a really good idea at all. In fact, the opposite is true.

I think we need to have the American people prepared for the fact that we are going to have a very serious rise in the number of cases.

I encourage you not to be shy about it, Mr. Krebs.
