I applaud you, Chairman Whitehouse and Ranking Member Graham, for your focus on law enforcement.
I am also encouraged by the efforts of Senators Coons and Hatch to create a harmonized system for owners of trade secrets.
We need to make sure that our criminal laws in this area are adequate and up to date.
The problem of theft that happens entirely overseas, highlighted by Senator Flake's legislation, is worthy of further study.
The theft of intellectual property is one of the most important foreign policy challenges we face.
I appreciate working with Senator Graham on that effort.
Please keep an eye out for the REAP Zone.
I wish all Committees were this easy to put together complex legislations.
One of my top conservation priorities in this was the Regional Equity provisions.
The REAP Zone has helped. It has helped fire departments. It has helped people buy their first homes.
Let’s do legislation. Let's not do talking points. Let's do legislation.
