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

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

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, today we are debating the final version of the Republican tax bill, which I cannot support. This bill was flawed from the start. First of all, it was never deficit neutral and there was…

Earlier this evening, the House passed H.R. 3359, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act, and I would like to commend Homeland Security Committee Chairman McCaul and Ranking Member Thompson for their efforts getting it…

Let me begin by thanking Chairman McCaul and Ranking Member Thompson for their dedication to improving our cybersecurity posture. Since the Chairman and I founded the Congressional Cybersecurity Caucus together nearly a decade ago, I have…

I want to talk about the importance of preserving net neutrality. As many of my colleagues are aware, cybersecurity is a top priority of mine, as I believe it is the national and economy security challenge of the 21st century. As co-chair…

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

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

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

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise, today, in strong opposition to this House Republican tax bill, which was developed in secret without a single public hearing. Despite repeated calls for Republicans to engage in a…

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.'

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

I would first like to begin by thanking Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith and Chairwoman Stefanik for their tireless work on this bill. It is a good work product, and I am very proud to be associated with it and be supporting…

As co-chair of the bipartisan Career and Technical Education Caucus, I rise in recognition of National Apprenticeship Week. Apprenticeships, Mr. Speaker, provide valuable industry-driven job training for students of all ages, preparing…

It is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, and we have a lot of work to do to better secure our Nation's cyberspace, and we cannot underestimate these challenges. During our district work period last week, I took the opportunity to go…

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).

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 certainly have great respect for the chairman and his leadership of the Armed Services Committee. No one questions his commitment to defending the Nation in support of our military, but we don't need to support earmarks to a private…

I have a motion to instruct conferees at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Langevin moves that the managers on the part of the House at the conference on the disagreeing…

I want to thank the gentleman for yielding. I appreciate all his time and effort he is putting into bringing attention to this vital issue. It is an honor to join him this evening as we highlight the imminent need to pass a full…

But I would reiterate that it is vitally important that we get key people appointed and in place permanently.

I would prefer it as a Democrat and Republican briefing.
