“I have no more speakers. If the gentleman from Texas has no more speakers, then, in closing, I urge the passage of H.R. 3696. It is legislation that will enhance DHS' ability to execute its cybersecurity mission. I am particularly pleased that it includes language that I authored to help ensure that DHS has the cyber workforce it needs to execute that mission. I would like to thank Chairman McCaul and Ranking Member Thompson, as well as the subcommittee chair, Mr. Meehan, for their leadership and their vision, and for their understanding that this is something that keeps us up at night, that this is something that this body must move forward to address--that this is a 21st century threat for which we cannot sit idly by and do nothing about. Their leadership on H.R. 3696 and on the suite of cyber legislation on the floor today speaks volumes to moving us in the right direction. With that, Mr. Speaker, I urge the passage of H.R. 3696, and I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, in closing, let me echo the sentiments of the gentlewoman from New York. I want to thank you and Mr. Meehan for your work on this bill. You are truly the workhorses--the engines--behind this bill, and I want to thank you for helping us get to this point where we are today. Congressman Langevin, we were talking about cybersecurity before it was cool to talk about cybersecurity.…”
