I will pull no punches, and neither will my colleagues when it comes to that.

These threats, combined with low morale and retention caused by the shameful defund the police movement is putting American communities at greater risk at a time when we can least afford it.

I am pleased that the committee is holding this very important hearing.

I hope that everyone here today recognizes that our Nation's cybersecurity cannot simply be a Federal effort, or a private effort, but that it must be joint effort.

I would like to thank Chairwoman Clarke for convening this important hearing today.

I look forward to continue prioritizing major cybersecurity reforms through this committee on a bipartisan basis, including my SICI bill, which is coming up in the next few days.

There is no doubt in my mind that cybersecurity is a deep preeminent threat to our country today.

Our Nation's cybersecurity cannot simply be a Federal effort or a private effort, but that it is--it is and must be a joint effort.

Everyone in this hearing should recognize the urgency and precision with which we need to act.

As long as I serve my country, whether in uniform overseas or here in Congress, I will do everything in my power to ensure that what happened on 9/11 does not happen again.

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

Ultimately it needs to have a diverse set of views, not just in the traditional sense, but those who look at the homeland security enterprise from different perspectives as well.

I agree with you very much about the public-private partnership in general and the need to exchange the information regarding malicious attacks in particular.

We need it to be a $5 billion agency within the next 5 years.

We need to boost up CISA's budget so they can be the things that we need them to be.

A bipartisan bill sponsored by Ranking Member Katko and co-sponsored by Chairman Thompson and other committee Members.

Ranking Member Katko's leadership to identify and secure SICI, with CISA playing a lead role in the designation process.

I think this will get us a long way to where we need to be.
