  • Statement of Committee Chairman Michael Mccaul
    OPENING STATEMENT MEDIA CONTACTS January 12, 2016 Susan Phalen, Matthew Ballard Statement of Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Security Technologies Subcommittee House Homeland Security Committee Wassenaar: Cybersecurity & Export Control Remarks as Prepared I appreciate the Gentlemen from Texas, Mr. Ratcliffe and Mr. Hurd, for having a hearing today on this very serious and consequential issue. Strengthening our nation’s cybersecurity is of the upmost importance right now and will determine our Nation’s position as a world leader in the future. The playing field for international conflict is constantly evolving. Cyber attacks can come from anywhere at any time, without any prior notification. As Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, keeping Americans safe is my primary concern – and that is no simple task in such a dynamic environment. Unfortunately, the amendment to the Wassenaar Arrangement would depreciate the research, development, and deployment of important tools that we all use every day to secure against cyber attacks. The Unites States has a duty to be a world leader. The establishment of a multilateral Arrangement to restrict the trade of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies has only been possible through strong American leadership. To continue fulfilling this imperative role, the United States must ensure that such agreements support technically and practically intelligent policies on cybersecurity. If the matter at hand was simply a question of efficacy, we wouldn’t be here today. If the only concern was that the Wassenaar Arrangement might have room for improvement, this conversation would be very different. But what has been violated here is the fundamental adage of “do no harm”.
