Following our successful congressional delegation to Israel in May of
last year to discuss homeland security and cybersecurity issues, Mr. Langevin and I worked closely to champion two important pieces of
legislation. Last year, I introduced H.R. 5877, the United States-Israeli Advanced
Partnership Act of 2016, which was signed into law on December 16 with
Mr. Langevin's help and support. That legislation expanded a current
cooperative research program between the two countries by adding
cybersecurity to a program that had previously focused only on border
security, explosives detection, and emergency services. Today, Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have H.R. 612, the United States-
Israel Cybersecurity Cooperation Enhancement Act of 2017 come before
the House.
