To put it simply, cybersecurity is National security.

I look forward to the testimony of today's witnesses.

Russia continues to rank near the top in terms of capabilities, with increasing aggression across the globe that may continue to manifest itself in cyber space.

Unfortunately, the administration's lack of proportional responses to these cyber attacks has demonstrated to the world that there are no real consequences for such actions.

Just 2 months ago, Gallup released a poll that found that 69 percent of Americans name big government as the biggest threat to our country right now.

I think everyone here knows and hopefully agrees that unnecessary regulations hurt job growth and suppress wages.

Congratulations. It would also be quite a shame if the reason it stopped doing business was--after nearly a century--was because of unnecessary regulatory interference.

I hope that you can appreciate why so many of the folks that have been in here today see it as the height of arrogance by the administration.

For the last several decades, our National security interest has been to sanction Iran.

Maybe we need to bring Secretary Kerry here. Maybe we need to remind Secretary Kerry that he is no longer Senator Kerry.

Those sanctions, frankly, were working pretty well, until this administration did away with them.
