                 NATIONAL CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS MONTH

  (Mr. LANGEVIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commemorate National 
Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which begins October 1. As the cofounder 
and co-chair of the Congressional Cybersecurity Caucus with my good 
friend Chairman Mike McCaul, I firmly believe that cybersecurity is the 
national and economic security challenge of the 21st century. I also 
believe that each of us has a role to play in staying safe online.
  During each of the 4 themed weeks of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, 
the Department of Homeland Security and its partners across the 
government and the private sector will highlight different aspects of 
cybersecurity, from the challenges faced by our critical infrastructure 
to the steps individuals can take to make their homes a safe haven for 
online safety.
  I encourage all my colleagues to take the opportunity to bring these 
messages back to their home districts. From senior centers to local 
chambers of commerce, the cybersecurity awareness events that I hold 
with our State cybersecurity officer, Mike Steinmetz, and the great 
team at the Rhode Island Joint Cyber Task Force have helped people 
across the Ocean State better protect themselves online.
  I look forward to another successful Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
