Mr. Chair, the Department of Defense is responsible for defending the homeland and U.S. interests from attack, including attacks that may occur in cyberspace. This is an important mission and one that this bill prioritizes by providing $8 billion across the entire cybersecurity landscape. Our Nation's cybersecurity posture starts with our cybersecurity professionals. The gentlewoman's amendment provides an additional $5 million to ensure that we continue to have the most qualified and highly trained cybersecurity professionals in the world. Mr. Chair, I am pleased to accept the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
