I would like to thank Chairman Walden for his great work in this area and for his leadership on this issue. I rise to strongly support House Concurrent Resolution 127. Mr. Speaker, several hostile countries continue to pursue a U.N…

I continue to believe that consumer privacy is paramount, the cloud offers new and innovative ways for the technologically savvy criminal to exploit the cloud for nefarious purposes.

You have a serious morale problem that has only gotten worse since you have taken over.
