“I think, clearly, the fact that a report is requested simply for the sake of requesting a report is redundant and is taxing on our intelligence community. But I think when we look at what happened during 9/11 and the fact that some of the intelligence branches of government were not sharing information, I think we need to learn something from that. In my district, I have an Air Force research lab that really focuses a great deal on cybersecurity, and I want to make sure the information that they're developing and the technologies that they're developing are being shared with other branches of the military and the intelligence community. And I think it's very important that we allow congressional oversight and that we ensure that in our role as Congressmen, that we are making sure that they are doing that, that they are sharing the information the way they should. So I certainly appreciate your point, but I think this is one of the places where it's critically important that we ensure that the information sharing is being done.”
