ROBERT E. LATTA of ohio in the house of representatives Thursday, June 18, 2026 Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay special tribute to an outstanding student from Ohio's 5th Congressional District. I am pleased to announce that Gavin Minich of Bloomdale, Ohio, has been offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York.”
“In the past 5 years, we passed the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act to remove Huawei and ZTE equipment from our networks and the Secure Equipment Act, which prohibits the Federal Communications Commission from authorizing equipment from untrusted vendors. It is imperative we move forward with these efforts to mitigate the widespread availability of this equipment. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 866, and I yield back the balance of my time. {time} 1630”
“Further, we know that companies with ties to the CCP could be forced to support Chinese intelligence activities. We can imagine how they could use vulnerabilities in their equipment to aid these efforts. That is why I am pleased to sponsor the ROUTERS Act, which would direct the Secretary of Commerce through the Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information to study the national security risk posed by routers and modems produced by companies with ties to foreign adversaries. This study will help Congress understand the scope and risk of this threat and will inform whether we need to remove this equipment from our networks. The legislation builds on our bipartisan efforts to remove untrusted equipment from our communications ecosystem.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my good friend, the chair of the subcommittee, for yielding. I rise today in support of my legislation, H.R. 866, the ROUTERS Act. Routers and modems play a key role in communications networks. They are the entry point through which the public accesses the internet. Thus, we make sure that they are secure. Bad actors can exploit vulnerabilities in routers to infect users' computers, access their information, or disrupt their network. National security agencies, including the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Homeland Security, have reported on the threat posed by vulnerabilities in routers and how some Chinese Communist Party-sponsored hackers have used these vulnerabilities to launch attacks. We should take these reports seriously.”
“[[Page H1661]] NTIA's role has drastically changed since it was last reauthorized, and I appreciate the work from the agency and my colleagues to update its authorizing statute. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 2482, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
“NTIA has important statutory obligations to manage Federal spectrum, which is especially important as Federal and non-Federal use of spectrum has intensified with the explosion of mobile phones and new connected technologies. {time} 1615 We must make sure NTIA's leadership reflects the important role it plays today, both domestically and internationally. This legislation elevates the NTIA Administrator from an Assistant Secretary of Commerce to an Under Secretary of Commerce. This elevation will help NTIA best represent the United States as it coordinates with other agencies and works with other countries. Finally, this legislation will codify two key offices within the NTIA, the Office of Spectrum Management and the Office of International Affairs.”
“It is responsible for a variety of activities, which include Federal spectrum management, administration of broadband grants, internet governance, representing the United States in international telecommunication forums, and developing cybersecurity policy. As the chairman has mentioned, Congress has not reauthorized NTIA since 1992, before many of these responsibilities existed or were relevant. This legislation ensures that NTIA has the right structure and resources to fulfill its 21st century mission as directed by Congress. Today's NTIA plays a key role in our effort to maintain global leadership in wireless communications.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my good friend, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bilirakis), for yielding. I really support and thank the gentleman for the work that he has done on this legislation to get it to where we are today. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 2482, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration Reauthorization Act of 2025, which I am pleased to lead with the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, my good friend, the gentlewoman from the Seventh District of California (Ms. Matsui). The NTIA is an agency within the Department of Commerce tasked with advising the President on matters related to telecommunications policy.”
