, one. Of morning. The Committee Meets to receive testimony on the u. S. Government policy strategy and organization to protect our nation in cyberspace. To begin id like to thank senators rounds and nelson for their leadership on these issues and our Cyber Security subcommittee. This hearing builds upon the good work that they and their subcommittee have done to tackle the critical challenge of cyber. This is a challenge that is growing more dire and more complex.
