mr. wagner, as a subsidiary of data card, how does your company use the transition to chip cards and have entrusted data card been involved in making like addition to the finance and payment networks on implementing new cards and security methods? >> data card is, in fact, the world leader and equipment to the financial transaction cards from both magnetic stripe, e.g., a place and will. were a big supporter of the amt technology. one of the things and combine security, it's clear the chip and p.i.n. is a more secure way to do it. there's also balance that needs to be considered. when you consider for security perspective chip and p.i.n. is a more secure way to go about it. either is better than the current environment. >> if i could ask one more question of chair ramirez. many of the large data breaches and hacking operations are from people outside the u.s. there's no shortage of crimes that they could be charged with but it can be very hard to bring them into our cards because operate largely overseas -- in our courts. i stand business weekly has identified a ukrainian operation that c

mr. david wagner? >> good afternoon. here toleased to be for aacilitate dialogue better understanding of cyber security issues. just over two years ago, we testified on a similar topic of cyber security. since that time, the situation has worsened. nationstates and criminals are continuing to use cyber to advance their interests. the december point-of-sale breaches are another example of escalation. we have no direct relationship with any of the victims of the december attacks. we can provide insight into the attacks. as we have heard earlier in testimony, criminals are using get pastoned tools to fences. social engineering and malware are the silent equivalent of crowbars penetrating corporate networks. the criminal uses a stolen identity and virtually becomes someone on the network making them difficult to distinguish from normal network behavior. in the case of the retail breaches, when the criminal assumes the right identity, they are able to push malicious code to point-of-sale terminals. they are able to collect cu

mr. wagner, i know in both the rockefeller bill and also the tuny bill, they use the word, "reasonable policies," reasonable is the key word for policies to ensure consumers' private data is protected. and obviously reasonable is a little elastic, a little situational. that may be the best word to use. but could you please speak to that? and kind of talk about what principles are contained in the concept of reasonable. >> the key principles we would espouse are those for information security governments, understanding the risk that information has at a high level, in a corporate, a board level, understanding which information assets had value. making sure it's not just an assessment of value to your organization but seeing the effect, ecosystemwide. making sure those asymmetric values get considered at the risk level at the corporate level to be dealt with. >> anyone else on the panel want to comment on reasonable and what that means, the context of what you do? >> were in accordance with those standards. >> is that a good starting point? >> i believe so. >> did you have something? >> yes. the

mr. wagner. >> boy, i'll say. (laughter) i really didn't think -- and i've talked to you about this -- i didn't think i was going to land on my feet again because, after natalie died, that was a very, very difficult, very, very rough time for all of us, for my whole family and, you know, when she came into my life, she had her hand under my elbow, holding me up, you know. >> charlie: it was devastating for you. beyond the loss of your wife, just the suspicious and everything that people said they didn't know. >> yeah, well... we didn't, you know. >> charlie: will we ever know? i don't think so. they -- well, when something like that happens where nobody sees what happened, you know, nobody saw what happened to her, she was just gone, you know, and, so, when that happens, there's no -- it's an open situation. i mean, there's been, you know -- we have ideas of what -- that she, you know, had this accident and slipped on the step and rolled into the water, but, you know -- >> charlie: why do you think that guy came f

mr. wagner and not allow the perfect become the enemy of the good. for the identification of voluntary best practices and standards for cyber security, this gives me reason for optimism, and i was pleased to see that several of the witnesses have highlighted the good work done in that regard. as was noted in the past, legislation is also needed to legislation with cyber threats and liability protection. not all data breaches occur because of a cyber attack. sharing the information is key, whether it is theft of intellectual property or an attack on critical infrastructure, so i look forward to learning more about the new partnership between the merchant and financial associations that will focus on sharing more information on cyber threats and protecting consumers. i also hope that visa and target can't elaborate on the work they at -- that they can't elaborate. elaborate.y can we are also wanting to hear on what they are doing to protect from fraud with education. there is the industry and government partners that are working hard in an attempt to p

mr. wagner and not about the perfect become the enemy of the good. a recent expense advancing legislation on the role of the national statistics and technology and the identification of voluntary best practices and standards for cybersecurity gives me reason for optimism. i was pleased to see that several of the what is today highlighthighlight ed the good work done by nist in that regard. as noted in the past, legislation is needed to enhance information sharing of cyber threats with liability protections. while not all data breach occurs because of a cyber attack, timely information, sharing of cyber threats is key to preventing and responds to cyberattacks whether the breach of consumer data, that of intellectual property or an attack on critical infrastructure. i look forward to learning more about the new partnership between the merchant and financial associations i will focus on sharing more information on cyber threats and improving technology to protect consumers. i hope that these and target can elaborate on the work they're doing to identif

the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from missouri, mrs. wagner, for five minutes. mrs. r: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i rise today in support of the enforce act. when crafting the timeless document that is our constitution, the founding fathers emphasized the need to prevent the emergence of an imperial monarch. in their wisdom they gave congress the power to make laws and cast the president with the responsibility to enforce those laws. not just the laws he agrees with or the laws that are politically convenient, but every law. mr. speaker, president obama has not lived up to this responsibility. by picking and choosing which laws are worthy of enforcement, this administration is undermining the very foundation of our representative democracy. the enforce act seeks to restore the balance of powers that the framers of our constitution envisioned. the constitution grants congress not the president the power to make the laws. mr. speaker, this is why i support the enforce act to provide congress with the ability to push back against the obama administration's exec

secretary of state john kerry in moscow but according to mr wagner of mr kerry canceled his visit just a also the foreign minister added that russia has prepared its proposal on the ways of resolving the current situation in ukraine which is based on returning the situation there to the framework of international law and also said that it should be accepted by all groups of ukrainian society. well to discuss the european point of view let's go live to decide off and talk to relieve him he's a veteran german politician who served as a defense ministry state secretary as well as an m.p. and vice president of the sea parliamentary assembly now more than a decade ago you alerted your then leadership of the disturbing connection you saw between the nato bombing of yugoslavia and ambitions for the alliance to expand now i've got some extracts from the letter you wrote to get out schroeder and this was after a conference organized by the u.s. state department let's just take one of these extracts now and listen to one of the conclusions that you reached here which was reached which obviously

mrs. wagner i thank the gentlewoman from missouri, my home state, our home state of missouri, the show-me state, for yielding and for hosting these special orders. there is no greater defender or champion for faith or for family or for freedom than congresswoman vicky hafertsler -- congresswoman vicky hartzler. mr. speaker, i rise today to protect the conscience of the american people. since taking office in january of last year, i've heard from countless constituents on how the government is abusing their individual freedoms under obamacare. over and over again. i recently heard from my constituent george, a central narron from louisiana -- seminaryian from st. louis county, he notes that, when the administration is asking catholic hospitals and nonprofits to do is in direct opposition to our catholic beliefs. he writes to me, mrs. wagner, i ask you to please stand up for us. we are being persecuted and unjustly forced to comply with procedures that are in conflict with our own beliefs. as georg

sergei lavrov come out at the end of the day and comment on a lot of these rumors and specifically to mr wagner of president putin did not plan to come to take part in this forum initially he said this decision was made around six months ago they also talked about the room or so for russia being kicked out of the g. eight saying moscow will not hang on to this organization since the g twenty has long become a much more effective format. if our western partners believe it has no future let it be so that we are not clued into that format and you can do see it as a tragedy if the summit is canceled. as an experiment because we can wait a year or a year and a half to see what comes out of it now another highlights of the day was last meeting with the u.s. secretary of state john kerry the first meeting between the two diplomats since the referendum in the crimea when it's a seceded from ukraine and reunified with russia and even though clearly in moscow and washington alternately different views on the crisis in ukraine this meeting has shown that the two countries are still pretty much the. on the
