How do the S&T and intelligence communities work together to drive an informed investment strategy?

How you are you working with the Strategic Capabilities Office?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank our panel here, again, for your testimony here today and the work you are doing in these fields.

Our S&T investments have been instrumental in delivering the capabilities necessary to address the threats that we have faced for more than a decade and a half from our enemies, like Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations that seek to…

Very good. Those are positive changes in the right direction, and I hope they will continue as such because this is too serious an issue not to do that.

They can't operate with impunity, which is what really is happening right now.

Imposing costs on our enemies and adversaries has to be an important part of the equation.

I know that the discussion we have been having on imposing costs on our enemies and adversaries is critically important.

It has been a real pleasure working with him as the chairman, me as the ranking member, he as the chairman of the Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee.

However, we seem to have a deficit of structures of a similar nature with sufficient influence over cyberspace.
