                     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, too, want to join my colleagues in 
offering condolences on the passing of the gentleman from Missouri, Ike 
Skelton. He was a wonderful Member, a mentor, and a dear friend. And 
let me say how much he will sadly be missed. He is in our thoughts and 
prayers, as is his family, in this difficult time.
  Mr. Speaker, as cochair of the Congressional Cybersecurity Caucus, 
today I rise to commend the efforts of the Department of Homeland 
Security, the National Cybersecurity Alliance, the Multi-State 
Information Sharing and Analysis Center, and other organizations 
working to improve cybersecurity in the United States on the 10th 
anniversary of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
  Throughout October, these organizations and public and private sector 
partners have worked tirelessly to create events and initiatives across 
the country to educate Americans about cybersecurity and increase the 
resiliency of our Nation's cyber-infrastructure.
  Cyberspace today is inextricably linked to every aspect of our daily 
lives; and efforts such as these are crucial to creating a safe, 
secure, and resilient cyber-environment. I hope my colleagues will join 
me in congratulating all who have made Cybersecurity Awareness Month a 
success.
