issued a report to congress, stating that cyber-based economic espionage is increasingly pervasive, and their report confirms that several nations are using cyber capabilities to collect sensitive american technology as well as economic secrets. while state-sponsored cyber espionage is a growing problem, it is but one aspect of the threat. the number and sophistication of computer intrusions have increased dramatically in recent years. american companies are using billions of dollars -- losing billions of dollars worth of intellectual property, research and development, as well as trade secrets. outside attackers of borrow and to company networks, remain undiscovered for months or even years. it is much like having termites in your house. often by the time you discover them, the damage is done. now, activist groups are pioneering their own forms of digital anarchy. in the bay area, you witnessed their work firsthand when individuals have the bark website and released personal data of customers -- and individuals -- when individuals hacked the bart website. the anonymity of the internet makes it difficult to discern the identity,

, a national policy, for dealing with this problem, both the national security espionage that's taking place and more importantly the economicespionage taking place for the last six or seven years. that policy needs to involve full tilt of national power. economic power, diplomatic power. we need to pressure the chinese and let them know there will be real costs to our relationship, to our trade partnership with china as a result of this activity. and we need to involve the private sector. right now the private sector is playing the role of the victim. they're told by the government "go sit in the corner and report when you're attacked." the private sector needs to make it more difficult and weigh the costs and risks to the adversaries infiltrating our networks. >> brown: jim lewis, what's your position? >> two thing. we need to harden our defenses. the executive order president obama put out in february does some work to do that, but we need congress to step up to the plate and pass legislation. the second thing we need to do is we need to engage with the chinese. that's where we need comprehensive diplomatic strategy. work

nation's economy, should she be confirmed. the department of commerce is tasked with promoting business, facilitating job creation, and spurring economic growth. unfortunately, our nation's unemployment rate is still at an unacceptable level -- 7.5%. in december of 2007, the unemployment rate measured at 5%, and it peaked at 10% in october 2009. clearly, much work remains to get the unemployment rate back to pre-recession levels -- particularly when you factor in the 21.9 million americans who are unemployed or underemployed. despite positive reports in other areas of the economy, job growth remains very slow and so far in 2013, monthly job growth has lagged behind the monthly averages experienced last year. we in congress must make jobs and the economy our top priority, and that means we must strive to do what we can to unleash the great american entrepreneurial spirit. we need to remove needless and outdated regulation and reduce burdensome tax rates for businesses of all sizes. we must craft policies that spur the private sector to take risks to create jobs, and we must also seek to restrain the government's inclination to intervene

development research council expects growth to drop to 6% by 2020 two the national bureau of statistics is warning that economic data collected from regional provinces -- to drop by 6% by 2020. the national bureau of statistics is warning that economic data collected from regional provinces -- china has worked hard to transform its economy and sustain growth. >> china has embarked on an incredible launch into private enterprise, really transforming its whole economy as it moved away from this state control. and it has had to keep up that kind of growth rate of double digits year on year to soak up the millions of workers who have been laid off from state industries and are now working in the private sector. it has largely been the growth story -- the growth story has been remarkable. it has been tangible. people have been able to say it is a genuine story. there is genuine wealth there. in recent times, people following the china story have been asking what is underpinning the growth now? is it real? when you see figures like 1/2 of all economic activity in china being related somehow to infrastructure investme

a lot of people in the department of transportation which is very strong specialists, the national economicouncil, the department of commerce, the environmental protection agency will look at the environmental effects. maybe it's going to have bad environmental effects. so you have a lot of people looking into it before it's issued, and they are often -- i observe this -- able to identify unintended consequences and get them on people's view screen for discussion. then the rule goes out, if it's approved, for public scrutiny. and what is inspiring to see, this was, i think, the largest lesson i got in government, is that members of the public will often isolate unintended bad consequences even if the specialist within government missed that. so you get from, you know, any number of places local government, from hitting companies, from big companies, from environmental groups, from the u.s. chamber of commerce, from ordinary citizens they say this is going to create something you don't see. and then if it turns out to be true, that can be fixed at the final rule stage as it's called. now, if

why is it that washington and obama are still giving them economic deals through most- favored-nation status? i can't understand. when is washington going to stand up for the american worker and the american people and stop giving the communist chinese government special economic deals through most-favored- nation status? isn't that traitorous at a point? that's all i've got to say. thank you. guest: we trade with china because it is in our economic interest. even with the loss from the side of hacking, the scale still goes to -- in favor of trading with china. however, it cannot be, if you will, an open checkbook or open kimono. we have got to figure out a way of saying that this has to stop, and if it doesn't, there will be consequences. and think about what those consequences might be. it is hard to do it in a trade sense. you cannot impose a tariff on chinese imports, but it may require us to do some very particular and argumentative things. you cannot expect this to be a one-shot where we attack and impose sanctions and the chinese capitulate. that may be part of what the discuss

major part of the economic engine of our nation. we should protect it.i think we've done a good job in the last several weeks in making sure that happened. i would just encourage you to continue. this notion of aviation user fees, the idea pops up and down very often. it seems to be back. the administration had it in their budget, congress has rejected it repeatedly. i would hope that you would find it within your approach to being the secretary of transportation where you'd find alternative solutions as opposed to having a user fee which would, of course, be cumbersome and challenging in the aviation footprint. >> thank you. i will say that my approach to this role would be the very same approach that i have as mayor which is i want to hear from all stakeholders on various questions that involve industry. and be that doesn't can always mean agreement, but what it means is that i want to get to a point where i can say the talking points for people on a variety of positions. and that's what i would endeavor to do in my role. >> i'll yield my 68 seconds to
