01:30Now, finally, I just want to add a few comments on the reports of drone activity here on the east coast, particularly in and around New Jersey.
01:40We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat, or have a foreign nexus.
01:51The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are investigating these sightings, and they're working closely with state and local law enforcement to provide resources,
01:59using numerous detection methods to better understand their origin.
02:04Using very sophisticated electronic detection technologies provided by federal authorities,
02:10we have not been able to, and neither have state or local law enforcement authorities, corroborate any of the reported visual sightings.
02:19To the contrary, upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully.
02:28The United States Coast Guard is providing support to the state of New Jersey and has confirmed that there is no evidence of any foreign-based involvement from coastal vessels.
02:37And importantly, there are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted airspace.
02:44Now, that said, we certainly take seriously the threat that can be posed by unmanned aircraft systems,
02:50which is why law enforcement and other agencies continue to support New Jersey and investigate the reports,
02:55even though they have uncovered no malicious activity or intent at this particular stage.
03:02While there is no known malicious activity occurring, the reported sightings there do, however, highlight a gap in authorities.
03:09And so we urge Congress to pass important legislation that will extend and expand existing counter-drone authorities
03:15so that we are better prepared to identify and mitigate any potential threats to airports or other critical infrastructure,
03:22and so that state and local authorities are provided all the tools that they need to respond to such threats as well.
