The theme of this hearing is cooperation to enhance security, and I think this is a great model that works

It is unacceptable that 15 percent of the military's semiconductor chips are coming--well, not only foreign countries but counterfeit.
It is astounding. Why? Has DHS explained to you why they have stopped providing this kind of information?
I see it as just a common-sense issue that I hope perhaps we can work together to change this policy.
We must ensure that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are working seamlessly with the private sector in the most effective and efficient ways possible to prohibit pirated goods from entering…
I don't believe they are in an offensive mode right now to attack us just because we are here, but I think they are positioning themselves to be able to do that if they view it as necessary.
We have to find a way to motivate a continual investigation and innovation of mechanisms.
The modern cyber threat is geared around not allowing you to know that it is there.
The one thing in this proposal I disagree with is the regulating over the private sector.
I think the first principle that we have, particularly in this area, in Congress is to do no harm.
I think as you point out, Mr. Williams, I agree with the breach-notification law. It really cries out for National Federal law.
Thank you, Congressman Pascrell, for your testimony and your leadership on this issue.
Passing this bill into law will go a long way towards establishing a comprehensive protection and response plan to a WMD attack.
We must find the funding in the Federal budget to ensure that these programs are fully funded.
Congressman, they are coming out of there--and they point at Pakistan--and they are coming over here, and they are killing us.

The State Department did not fully comply with the level of detail required by two laws, two statutes, one being the National Defense Authorization Act and the second one being the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act.
The idea that the report required by law... would not include information about proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to me is a woefully inadequate report.
I would hope that both DHS and State can update this report so that the other branch of Government, that being the Congress, can do its job.
They, too--we will never know their names or faces--the public, at least--but they deserve our congratulations as well.
