And I certainly admire your dedication to both your mission and your people.

I remain concerned about this structure, and I think that is something we are going to have to continue to look at.

I applaud everything that we are doing to put weapons in the hands of the Ukrainian people.

I also think it is critical to raise awareness of the security resources that are available for Black institutions at this time of increased racially-motivated violence.

I am glad that we're having this hearing today.

I want to say good morning to our witnesses. Thank you for your very poignant, very insightful, and important testimony today.

Over the last week, we have seen an uptick in Chinese aggression against Taiwan, as much as the world has had its eyes on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Good. Well, you are going to have substantial support from the Hill to upgrade that infrastructure given the fact that we are behind right now on developing hypersonic weapons.

The only other thing I would add is the assumption in elections that we shouldn't be reliant on the performance of or security of the software and hardware counting the votes, which is why paper ballots and post-election audits are so…

I commend Director Easterly for her vision in wanting to create this along with the rest of the team.

I think the JCDC will significantly improve the ability of the public-private sectors to collaborate on cyber defense efforts.

It is exactly the type of thing we need to do to get out ahead of cyber vulnerabilities.

I do also want to commend you and thank you for your work on this Cyberspace Solarium Commission.

I commend you for initiating this work.

In August I reintroduced what I call the Ready For Disaster Act, which would establish a network of centers to provide training in technical systems to State and local governments.

I think your framework to describe the interaction between natural hazards and social forces really hits the nail on the head.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I have been on and off the hearing, so in between the meeting, so I thank you and the other Members for hosting the hearing.

I think it is important for us now that we are having a larger number of children out, it is important that we have to think of after-school programs that will specifically address this need.

That is completely and utterly unacceptable, and I call upon USCIS to address this shortcoming immediately.

I certainly hope so. It is a vital mission.

How is the Department supporting and empowering CISA to ensure it can bring on the cybersecurity talent it needs?

How can we better train and equip partner forces?

We have failed in that mission.

How will we keep our country safe?

In my view all TSA is doing by shrouding its cybersecurity directives in secrecy is denying itself the benefit and the ability to improve these directives through the feedback of the largest cybersecurity community.
