I think the brave Republicans like Liz Cheney, like Ben Sasse, like Adam Kinzinger, who are standing up to the bullies are the future of our party.

Failure is not an option here. We need to have mission success.

I think when I was speaking about the ride along that I did with the Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force, someone said they thought they heard me say they had picked up 14 in one night. I just wanted to clarify. If it sounded like…

I think we're really seeing disruptive, positive, innovative technology, and I think there's no question that we need to reallocate resources.

When these devices and these things are made available, it's lowering PTSD, it improves lives, and we actually do have long-term savings here as well as obviously improved quality of life and the right thing to do.

I urge passage of the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment, as modified, offered by the gentlewoman from Virginia (Mrs. Comstock). The amendment, as modified, was agreed to…

The Iran case demonstrates that nefarious foreign actors use cyber means to access valuable research and development.

It is imperative that our academic institutions not close their eyes to the very real threat posed by foreign intelligence spies.

Unfortunately, various immoral actors have sought to exploit our openness to steal American ingenuity and innovation and undermine our system.

It would be easy to think about the theft of information from American universities by foreign students to be the topic of a modern-day spy novel, but in fact it is a very real problem and, sadly, not a new one.

Sexual harassment, abuse of power, and intimidation in the workplace, classroom, or research field site is unacceptable in any situation.

By supporting innovative workforce development programs for STEM careers like those our witnesses are part of, we not only increase the students' economic opportunities and security, but also our nation's.

I look forward to hearing more about the potential and emerging applications of blockchain technology today, particularly if the technology can help with securing people's private and sensitive information.

I would also like to note that the International Association of Fire Chiefs has endorsed this bill. I appreciate, again, the bicameral, bipartisan support we were able to bring together for the sixth year reauthorization--actually, the…

I hope the stories of all our witnesses will help to inspire a new generation of scientists and entrepreneurs.

In the weeks going forward, we need to revise the process to make it easier for women to come forward and provide them an advocate, ombudsman, or counsel, as Dorena recommended; we need to have a prohibition on any kind of Member-staff…

She noted the patterns of the various infamous predators of late and how their victims were now coming forward. These are the same kind of victims that we see in human trafficking or child abuse. She writes: ``Once predators, who are…

I would say that the testimony here would be a direct assault on that in that having money diverted into some other program by us would be detrimental to our advancement.

What are the risks to our economy and national security if we aren't the leaders in this research, and in particular, in quantum information science?

This is not, this is not a path towards any sort of technological breakthroughs or quantum leaps.

While the Trump Administration also proposed cuts to these centers, I hope and expect my colleagues in Congress will continue to voice our strong support for researchers and their vital work.

Lack of security at NIST facilities is a direct, serious threat to the safety and well-being of thousands of federal workers.

NIST promotes U.S. innovation and competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology.

This is a marked improvement over current law where ICE must wait for specific convictions before removal proceedings can commence. The bill preserves, as my colleague has already identified, all the due process and appellate rights…

Girls Who Code is one of those exciting programs that's capturing the imagination of these young people in high school.
