I have felt similar for quite some time and have had legislation in for years now calling for a director's position in the Executive Office of the President that has both policy and budgetary authority to reach across government to compel…

Thank you to our witnesses for appearing before us today on the Department of Defense's new Cyber Strategy released in April 2015.

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

The Guard is and will remain a critical pathway for the DOD to access expertise that it otherwise, frankly, could not afford.

This has probably been one of the most difficult decisions I have had to make during my time in Congress. For the record, I still have deep reservations about the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. However, while it is not without flaws…

Before I begin my remarks, it is my pleasure to yield to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the distinguished minority whip.

I thank the gentleman. Let me express my profound gratitude to the distinguished gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the distinguished minority whip, for his kind words, Mr. Speaker, but most especially because of his extraordinary…

This past Sunday marked the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Since its enactment, the ADA has been a beacon of hope for millions of people with disabilities, both throughout the United States and around the world…

I have great respect for their point of view, and I certainly believe that incentives are an avenue that we should explore.

It is also abundantly clear that network administrators are not currently employing best practices.

I fully agree that organizations, public and private, must do a better job adopting cybersecurity best practices.

We have to invest in these types of efforts because if we are silent, then the only message they hear is the radical ones.

It is foreseeable that once certain resources have been depleted the scene will be set for new wars.

I thank the gentleman for his support of the amendment as well as my colleague and Mr. Keating. As I said, this is such an important amendment. It includes important funding for protecting our ecosystems. I urge passage of my amendment…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 61, line 16, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $1,625,000)''. Page 62, lines 8 and 13, after each dollar…

This amendment, which I am offering with my good friends, Mr. Keating and Mr. Cicilline, will provide $1 million to the southern New England estuaries geographic program. This program was funded at $5 million last year and has been…

How important are verification and detection to detect cheating?

We have to change the calculus so that our enemies or adversaries know that there is a cost to hacking our systems and stealing our data.

Our comprehensive strategy to combat ISIL includes undercutting their flow of resources.

Our adversaries or these hackers are eating our lunch, and we are not seeming to be able to stop it and not doing much about it.

I believe an effective strategy must be a coordinated, well thought out whole-of-government effort.

The ambitious U.S. strategy does not appear to be able to achieve the end state.

I guess for the record I want to express the recognition of our public servants who work very hard, but my absolute consternation and frustration that we are where we are today.

I am enormously saddened for the millions of Federal workers in this recent incident that are now subjected to personal violations.

I completely agree with you on the National cyber strategy.
