On the recordJune 8, 2017
I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for yielding me the time, and I thank him for his leadership. Indeed, the whole issue of data security is so vital to our constituents, so many of them have been victimized by identity theft. So I appreciate his leadership on this issue, and I know that Chairman Luetkemeyer in our committee will be leading on this issue. I support this underlying amendment. I do have some outstanding questions on what type of multifactor authentication would be required. I want to ensure that we do not specify the technology, that this is a sense of Congress provision. But I look forward to working very closely with Congressman Smucker to refine the concept as it goes forward, and I thank him for his leadership.
