I certainly wish you and your family well as you start the next chapter as well.

Why aren't we more effective at defending the country in cyberspace?

I have always deeply appreciated your thoughtful answers and your contributions to better protecting the country in cyberspace.

I have certainly been studying cybersecurity issues now for over a decade, and I have to say, I still learn something every day as the domain and the actors in it continue to evolve.

So I believe that a whole-of-government effort is required to support CWMD strategy and policy.

I do not want to hear just the good-news story. I also want to see how has the underresourcing and the marginalizing of other Federal agencies, such as Department of State, affected the CWMD effort.

In 2014, the Department released its strategy for CWMD, which outlined three end states: that no new actors possess WMD; that there be no WMD use; and that, should WMD be used, that there be a minimization of their effects, with associated…

Thank you, Chairwoman Stefanik.

I wish the President were more vocal on this front.

However, increasingly bold rogue actors and technological advances are challenging the strategy's goal of ensuring that the U.S.

The internet has significantly changed propaganda delivery.

I think the dialogue is important, but it has to, I think, go beyond that.

This is a challenging problem, because this is a nation-state attack, and they are using our own private companies to carry out those attacks.

I think it is essential that we be as forward-leaning, as forward-thinking as we can on this issue preparing for climate change because it is here.

Do you feel comfortable that the non-military assets of U.S. national power are being utilized effectively to adequately counter the threats posed by Russia?

Thank you for the answers and thank you again for your service to the country.

I certainly look forward to cosponsoring the legislation that you are introducing.

I think we have to have this philosophy that it is okay to fail as long as there is good lines of communication between the R&D community and the Congress, we can take these leaps together.

If the U.S. is to remain a global leader in technology, then we just can't play defense, we must also play offense.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I want to begin by commending my colleague from the First Congressional District of Rhode Island, Mr. Cicilline, for sponsoring this bill in the first place. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to…

Our competitors are steadily pursuing advanced capabilities and technologies, and I, too, believe we have to continue to invest in both research and development of advanced technologies and transitioning them as soon as possible to the…

No one should experience what the students of Parkland, Florida, did last week. My heart breaks for that community, for the lives of the lost, for those who were injured, and for the families that were affected. No family should ever have…
