Washington, D.C. - Tomorrow at 10 a.m., U.S. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, will convene a hearing to examine cyber war and its implications for U.S. foreign policy. The hearing is entitled “Cyber War: Definitions, Deterrence, and Foreign Policy."
Chairman Royce on the hearing: “The continued and very damaging cyberattacks on American agencies demonstrate that the Administration’s current deterrents are not working. This hearing will help determine what laws and policies should be updated to address the new threat of cyber conflict. The Committee will be looking at whether any of the policies announced around the recent visit by President Xi of China will meaningfully improve our country’s cybersecurity."
