dear members of mine, senior cia officers and later sc officials, mary margaret graham and charlie allen. i'm here because i have been nominated to lead the extraordinary men and women at the central intelligence agency. men and women who are our country's silent warriors. these dedicated professionals spend much of their careers in difficult, far flung outposts of the globe striving to make our fellow americans more secure at home. it has been the privilege of my professional life to be one of those cia officers. now i have been asked by president trump to lead this workforce and to continue the work that mike pompeo and i began a little more than a year ago. ensuring that cia is postured to meet the complex challenges our nation faces. those challenges include a changing but still lethal threat from terrorist groups, a nuclear threat against the continental united states from a rogue state, destabilizing iranian adventurism, an aggressive and sometimes brutal russia. and the long-term implications of china's ambitions on the global stage. while these challenges are daunting and offer f

. >> mr. speaker, i rise today to discuss digital currency, particularly initial coin official. these innovations have outpaced regulators and the courts. now regulators and courts are beginning to weigh in. meeting with agency officials and industry leaders makes one thing clear, making the markets work in the united states of america requires legislative certainty. failure for congress to act produces uncertainty and that will drive capital and innovation off shore. our task is to answer questions like, how are these tokens traded? are they securities or commodities? who is the proper regulator? how do we prevent fraud? these are just some of the questions that need answers. congress needs to act by passing legislation that creates certainty and turns the united states into a market maker. mr. davidson: i intent to lead this legislation for initial coin official to clarify the role of regulators, protect consumers, address national security concerns, and facilitate a pro-growth environment f
