Jim Langevin

Thank you, Madam Chair. Secretary West, section 922 of the FY 2017 NDAA focused on solidifying and strengthening the roles and responsibilities of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict to…

What efforts are underway to define and resource SO/LIC?

I know you are new, you are just days on the job, but from your standpoint right now initially, what is the status of the implementation of 922, and what is the status of the report on implementation of 922 required by section 1074 of the…

We must be prepared for future activities and conflicts in which potential adversaries have made gains in technologies.

After 17 years, the global counterterrorism fight is by no means over.

Today, that demand and reliance has not decreased.

The VFW commends Representative James Langevin for his efforts to improve and expand the caregiver program through H.R. 1472

Veterans of all eras deserve caregiver benefits.

The National Defense Strategy states that inter-state strategic competition rather than terrorism is now the primary national security concern.

I would add cyber weapons as also posing an existential and asymmetric threat to our Nation as well.

I think this is one of those areas where we have sung this song before, and the Navy's current collision record, unfortunately, is part of the result of choices to lessen shoreside training that were made over a decade ago.

I think it is vitally important for the Department, and ultimately for the taxpayer, to make sure that we are spending dollars the way they should be spent, and we are getting the most for them.

If we could just go back to--so I could clarify the investment that China is making in AI and what we are investing in AI, it is a little confusing.

I believe a comprehensive whole-of-government approach is needed to maintain U.S. technological advantage.

I would agree to do both. And having that collaboration with the private sector... is something where we can leverage the amazing investments that the private sector is making.

Despite significant efforts by Congress and the Department, other nation-state actors have made advances of their own in emerging technology areas that endanger U.S. technological superiority.

The members of the Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee have long been champions for Department of Defense investments in emerging technologies.

I think it is pretty outrageous that DHS can't even do testing on drones and their capabilities.

International terrorism casts a long shadow, reaching the American consciousness from violence-torn nations such as Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I welcome the opportunity.

I have said many times that information sharing is not a silver bullet--in fact, there is no such thing in cybersecurity.

CISA and earlier bills, such as the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), were criticized for the potential to compromise American's privacy.

Dear Chairman Ratcliffe and Ranking Member Richmond: We write to you regarding the hearing on 'Maximizing the Value of Cyber Threat Information Sharing.'

May I ask how much time I have left. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Weber of Texas). The gentleman from Rhode Island has 11\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I would just mention many wonderful organizations around the country that would love to have earmarks, but we don't do earmarks anymore. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Nevada (Ms. Rosen).
