Dear
Friend,
Establishing
a
Select
Committee
on
Cybersecurity
Earlier
this
week,
U.S.
Senator
Chris
Coons and
I
introduced
legislation
to
establish
a
Senate
Select
Committee
on
Cybersecurity
that
would
have
jurisdiction
over
cybersecurity
and
cyberspace
issues.
Cybersecurity
policy
is
one
of
the
most
complex
and
significant
challenges
facing
Congress,
yet
the
Senate’s
structure
to
investigate
and
address
cyber
issues
is
diffuse
and
inadequate.
This
has
led
to
an
uncoordinated
policy
response
to
recent
cyber
attacks
on
government
agencies,
businesses,
and infrastructure.
The
scope
of
the
cyber
threat
is
as
varied
as
the
actors
who
are
responsible
for
them
and
the
consequences
of
potential
attacks.
Therefore,
as
cyber
risks
threats
evolve
so
must
U.S.
cybersecurity
policy.
The
establishment
of
a
Select
Committee
on
Cybersecurity
is
essential
to
investigating
emerging
cyber
risks
and
bolstering
our
defenses
against
them
through
legislative
solutions,
and
I’m
hopeful
that
my
colleagues
recognize
that
a
centralized
structure
is
the
best
path
forward
to
effectively
tackle
the
cyber
challenge.

about
our
proposal

National
School
Choice
Week
Since
my
time
in
the
Colorado
State
House,
I
have
advocated
for
expanding
school
choice
and
keeping
Congress
out
of
the
classroom. #NationalSchoolChoiceWeek is
an
opportunity
to
recognize
the
tremendous
impact
access
to
school
choice
has
on
our
youth.
I
will
continue
to
work
to
provide
parents
with
the
power
to
make
decisions
that
are
best
for
their
children
because
every
child
should
have
access
to
a
school
that
best
serves
their
individual
needs.
Colorado
National
Guard
This
week,
we
celebrated
the Colorado National
Guard's
157th
birthday.
We
thank
current
and
former
guardsmen
and
women
for
their
dedication
and
service
to
Colorado
and
our
country.
Beginning
to
Approve
The
President's
National
Security
Team
On
Defense
SecretaryJames
Mattis:
I
voted
for
Secretary
Mattis
because
he
is
a
proven
leader
who
has
served
our
country
valiantly
for
more
than
four
decades.
As
a
four-star
general,
he
made
clear
during
his
confirmation
hearing
that
he
understands
the
importance
of
supporting
our
allies
and
military
alliances
and
standing
up
to
key
threats,
including
Russia.
Now,
Secretary
Mattis
assumes
a
new
role
in
public
service
and
I’m
confident
in
his
ability
to
lead
the
Department
of
Defense.
On
Homeland
Security
Secretary
John
Kelly:
Secretary
Kelly
also
has
a
distinguished
record
of
service
to
our
country
and
the
commitment
required
to
serve
as
Secretary
of
Homeland
Security.
He
has
seen
first-hand
the
challenges
our
country
faces
when
it
comes
to
securing
our
borders,
and
has
the
experience,
dedication,
and
vigilance
to
fight
homegrown
terrorism
and
keep
our
country
safe.
On
CIA
Director
Mike
Pompeo:
At
a
time
when
we
are
facing
many
evolving
threats
around
the
world,
it
is
important
that
our
chief
intelligence
officer
is
prepared
to
face
them
head
on
to
protect
Americans
at
home
and
abroad.
I
will
work
with
him
to
protect
privacy
as
he
works
to
protect
America.
CIA
Director
Pompeo’s
background
as
a
U.S.
Army
veteran
and
member
of
the
House
Intelligence
Committee
will
serve
him
well
as
the
Director
of
the
CIA.
On
UN
Ambassador
Nikki
Haley:
The
UN
is
in
desperate
need
of
U.S.
leadership,
particularly
when
it
comes
to
standing
up
for
one
of
our
closest
allies,
Israel,
and
standing
up
to
rogue
regimes
like
Iran
and
North
Korea.
During
her
confirmation
hearing,
Ambassador
Haley
rejected
the
UN’s
condemnation
of
Israel
and
committed
to
serving
as
a
strong
advocate
for
American
principles
of
freedom
and
democracy.
The
United
States
must
support
its
allies
through
action,
and
Ambassador
Haley
has
demonstrated
that
she
is
willing
to
be
a
strong
voice
on
behalf
of
the
United
States
in
the
UN.
