"Good morning, everyone. I call this joint subcommittee hearing together with the Subcommittee on Cyber, Innovation Technologies, and Information Systems, along with the Subcommittee on Oversight and Government Reform--National Security Subcommittee."
"Very important. Especially as it could impact readiness and response."
"I have long believed that if we ever get into a conflict with a China or a Russia, that that conflict will begin in cyberspace and may not go kinetic for quite some time."
"Very good. Well, good afternoon. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and good afternoon. Thank you to our witnesses here today, in particular General Kehler."
"If I could, the next question, for General Kehler, the People's Liberation Army considers cyber capabilities to be an integral part of strategic and nuclear deterrence."
"We want to make sure that they know that they have our support and that we would support those kinds of changes."
"With that, the subcommittee will come to order. I'd like to welcome the members who are joining today's hearing remotely."
"Thank you for the integrity you showed when you were director at CISA in securing elections and doing everything you can to make sure, as you said, they were the most secure in U.S. history."
"I was very pleased with our final report and the findings in it, and hopefully it is going to be a great blueprint going forward for better protecting the country in cyber space."
"One of the most corrosive things I see out there and that we have to contend with is the disinformation/misinformation campaigns."
"This is a long-term challenge that we are going to have to confront, and we have to get this right for the good of our country."
