If we do not have more copper, we are not going to do electrification.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently did a study looking at just the broadband implementation and the permitting issues on that.

That's still a really long time. The painful part is they are not making the 270-day even mark.

This is a problem that Congress made, Congress needs to fix it.

The administration has really put a laser focus on domestic sourcing of critical minerals because of all the benefits...

They set a goal to be able to have permitting decisions and such made within 270 days.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

We want our cybersecurity personnel focused not on delivering reports to multiple regulators but instead focused on how are we going to actually secure systems.

Chair Peters, this is an area we need to work on, the independent agencies, not just in this area but in a broader area.

They are frustrated because their compliance requirements continue to go up.

70 percent is clearly not the right number on this, to try to get it down to that level.

Cybersecurity is not just a technical issue; it's a national security issue.

I appreciate it. It's not an unknown statement on this, and I see them over time.
