This is another opportunity for the committee and the American People to drill down on this vitally important docket. In 2016, a hostile foreign power reach down to the state and local levels to touch motor data. It employed relatively sophisticated cyber tools and capabilities and helped moscow to potentially build detailed knowledge of how our elections work.

Our witnesses are here to tell us more about what happened in 2016, what that tells us about russian intentions, and what we should expect in 2018 and 2020. I am deeply concerned that if we do not work in lockstep with the states to secure our elec

I call the hearing to order. Today the committee convenes its seventh open hearing of 2017 to examine russias interference in the 2016 u. S. Elections.

I will say for the record a brief Opening Statement that i had for this markup. Im pleased to support both of these nominees. If there is no further debate, i ask unanimous consent that we consider supporting the nominations on block. The question is on recording that you nomin
