Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to thank you for holding this hearing.

I believe, has a critical role to play here.

I think that would be helpful, and I am hoping that we are going to see us move in that kind of a direction and have that common understanding.

I couldn't agree more, Mr. Secretary, and I share that concern. And the faster we can get these boats into the water, obviously the better.

I have been one of the biggest proponents of cybersecurity as a critical warfighting domain during my time in Congress.

I believe we must ensure that you and your counterparts here today have the flexibility and the agility needed to acquire and utilize off-the-shelf capabilities that can quickly transition to the warfighter.

As we work to manage cybersecurity at an enterprise level and evaluate the state of much-needed programs, such as OCX, it is critical that the services understand the cybersecurity requirements laid before them.

I want to thank you as well as the hardworking men and women who work under your supervision at the Department of Homeland Security and the work that they do to protect our Nation.

As one of directed energy's strongest advocates up here in the Congress, I just want to recognize that technology has tremendous potential to change the game in our favor.

I have long been an advocate of Directed Energy weapons systems, and I am glad that technologies are beginning to transition out of the lab into operational units, such as the 30-kilowatt laser on the USS Ponce.
