                             Cyber Security

  Mr. President, finally, on cyber security legislation, yesterday, the 
Washington Post reported that the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz 
used his personal Gmail account for official government communications.
  So it is clear the controversy about Signal was clearly not an 
isolated incident; it was a pattern of gross negligence. It is clear 
that the Trump administration can't be trusted on their own to protect 
America's intelligence. So later today, I will be introducing 
legislation with Senators Kim and Schiff to shore up our national 
security and make sure the Trump administration knows how to handle 
classified information.
  Under any other President, these stunning breaches would have 
resulted in swift accountability. It is shocking that over a week 
later, Donald Trump has held nobody--nobody--accountable, with no 
firings, no corrections, nothing--just a bunch of statements saying 
``lessons learned.''
  The Donald Trump of 2017, I believe, would not have hesitated to hold 
someone accountable by now. That he has not done so now makes it seem 
more and more like he is just out of touch with what America needs, 
with America's safety, with average American families.
  Well, America cannot afford any ``lessons learned'' when it comes to 
our national security. We cannot afford it. And I hope that this 
legislation will do some good. You will hear more about it later.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Republican whip.
