Jim on FOX News to Address Cyberthreats
Congressman Jim Langevin
appeared on FOX News to discuss cyber threats and the need to act more quickly to address the risks to
our national security.
He told host Shannon Bream, “My fear is that the country,
if we’re not prepared, if we don’t foresee these problems, could face a cyber 9-11… One
of the biggest problems is that we have a lack of coordination at the federal level. I give the President high
marks for being the first major world leader to make a major speech on cybersecurity, identifying our cyber
assets as a critical national asset, but unfortunately the Administration hasn’t been working quickly
enough to finish its inter-agency review, which we’ve been waiting for for quite some time, and then
we’re supposed to have a robust plan going forward on how we best protect the country.”

Candidates' focus is on jobs, taxes
Langevin gave a spirited defense of the first Obama stimulus bill, asserting that it prevented a bad economy from getting much worse by spending to build highways and other infrastructure and to support state shortfalls in Medicaid and other budget obligations. He also defended the allocation of large sums — as yet unspent — to modernize the health-care and energy economies in years to come.
Langevin said he would await the recommendations of Mr. Obama’s deficit commission before deciding how to address the looming problems with federal entitlement programs. The commission will report after Election Day. Langevin said, however, that the passage of the health-care overhaul represents a huge stride toward Medicare solvency and overall deficit reduction.
