Finally, Madam Speaker, maybe the worst of all, to bemoan the change yesterday to allow the Speaker to have her words considered and to allow her back on the floor. Why? Because we don't care about rules? No. Because we care about the…

I thank my good friend, the distinguished chairman of the Oversight and Reform Committee, for yielding. Madam Speaker, what we just heard might be described as hyperanimated chutzpa to bemoan accountability, to talk about a kitchen table…

if FedRAMP isn't working the way we want it to work and it needs some adjustment in resource availability, we're certainly willing to look at that in the draft legislation.

My motive is to protect the integrity of the American electoral system. It is not to play politics.

FedRAMP originally, back in 2010, 2011, was intended to be an expeditious way of allowing entry into cloud services...

That's true, Mr. Cheriyan, but that doesn't let us off the hook.

Thank you so much. And your praise of our draft bill, you also should be promoted and given a big, fat raise.

I want to give you a chance to be very clear. You're not arguing JAB is just no different than any other Federal agency.

That's right. I just wanted to clarify what you were not saying.

But, on the other hand, what does it entail, from your point of view?

One of your recommendations to us was a power agency authorization instead of the JAB.

And that's millions of dollars and multiple years for a medium-sized, maybe small-to medium-sized business, and that's maddening to people.

Would my friend yield just for a second?

I wish we could give you a promotion and a raise. Thank you so much, Congresswoman Lawrence.

I think through automation and also transparency--I think the metrics reporting and being able to track over time...

Codifying it gives you some predictability, gives Federal employees who work on the program, you know, an anchor to guide them.

To support the amendment that is going to be offered by Mr. Burchett is essentially to whitewash history.

Russia's unprecedented interference in the 2016 Presidential election should trouble every American and every member of this committee.

The integrity of our election process is at stake, and this committee has yet to speak to it.

The Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome through hacking and distributing stolen information in 2016.

We cannot pretend it is all the same; France favoring Jefferson in the 1800 election is no different than Russian interferences.

Well, let me just say, yes, that's how it should work.

Mr. Chairman, I hope my colleagues will not be lulled into the false argument that what happened in 2016... is the same.

I'm looking at this, thinking, are we that disconnected from, in a sense, our client base, right?

I happen to believe, and I think Mr. Meadows does as well--I don't want to speak for him, but--right now, the problem is FedRAMP is potentially an orphan.
