I raised concerns about one provision in the proposed law, and that was the mandatory minimum sentencing for certain crimes of damaging political critical infrastructure computers.

As in every area of crime policy, public safety demands that we engage in level-headed efforts to identify and implement comprehensive evidence-based solutions, and I hope we can do that in this case.

I think this Congress should act.

This Committee has heard a lot of testimony on mandatory minimums. They have been found to waste the taxpayers' money, do nothing about crime, and often result in sentences that are violative of common sense.

I applaud the President's resolve to work with industry to better resolve our critical infrastructure.

We are not meeting here because we are worried about individuals breaching terms of service.

The time of the gentleman has expired, and I agree with the last point that the gentleman from Michigan has made since the Internet is completely internationalized and knows no boundaries, either for doing good or breaking the law.

The time of the gentleman has expired.

I think we are going to be talking about this issue a lot more as legislation is developed. I disagree with that conclusion.

So I would like to thank all of the witnesses for appearing today, for being brief in the answers to your questions so that we Republicans can go listen to what the President has to say.

I want to join the Chairman in welcoming our witnesses, and I look forward to their testimony.
