The end game for the United States and for South Korea should be to seek the emergence of a united, free, open, democratic Korea with its official seat of government in Seoul.

I have continued to call on the current administration to place North Korea back on the list for the sake of our national security.

Whether it is criminal, whether it is espionage, or whether it cyber warfare, we cannot afford to wait any longer.

Americans deserve better protection and the federal government can help make sensitive information more secure.

I want to thank Chairman Massie, Chairman Smith, Ranking Members Lipinski and Wilson for allowing me to introduce this bill once again.

I have worked very closely with my good friend Congressman Lipinski to bolster our Nation's cybersecurity research and development.

I thank the Chairman.

Cybercrime threatens our national security, our critical infrastructure, businesses of all sizes, and every single American.
