CONGRESS MUST SHORE UP VULNERABILITIES TO THE CCP
(Mrs. STEEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mrs. STEEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate today's passage of the
fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act.
In addition to making critical investments in our military, this
legislation takes significant steps to protect the United States from
CCP spying.
For 16 years, a CCP-owned logistics platform called LOGINK has
tracked our commercial and military ships. This NDAA deters CCP
aggression by enacting my plan to ban the DOD's use of LOGINK and
working with our partners to ban it, too.
The CCP is spying on American citizens across every industry, field,
and institution. Congress must act to shore up vulnerabilities to the
CCP, especially when it comes to our military and commercial supply
chains. This NDAA does just that.
That is why I was proud to support it and why I urge all of our
Senate colleagues to do the same.
