                SUPPORT FOR TULSA CYBER PROGRAM IN NDAA

  (Mr. HERN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HERN. Madam Speaker, today I rise in support of important funding 
included in this year's NDAA that will benefit an important initiative 
with respect to industrial control systems.
  Specifically, this funding will advance a key concept in the Army's 
Smart Installations Strategy and begin to address critical research 
required to advance our capabilities in the area of testing the 
cybersecurity and our embedded industrial control systems.
  The University of Tulsa in my district has significant capabilities 
in the area of cybersecurity research and has been engaged in 
attempting to address many of the issues associated with industrial 
control systems.

  TU's research efforts in the area of cybersecurity protection are 
unmatched in the Nation. They play an important role in our national 
security and deserve this essential funding.
  I want to thank my colleague from Oklahoma City (Mrs. Bice) for her 
work on the House Armed Services Committee to ensure this funding was 
included in this year's NDAA.
