The Security Industry Association (SIA), Silver Spring, Md., announced that Representative Michael McCaul (R-TX) will be a keynote speaker at the Security Industry Association’s (SIA) Government Summit — the annual public policy conference in the security industry. The Summit will be held June 4-5, 2013 at the W Hotel in Washington, D.C.

McCaul is currently serving his fifth term representing Texas' 10th District in the United States Congress. Rep. McCaul is Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, which has oversight of the Department of Homeland Security, ensuring it is able to carry out its core mission of protecting the American people from terrorist attacks.  As chairman, McCaul prioritizes the threat of international and domestic terrorism, cyber security, airport security and management of DHS. 

Prior to Congress, Rep. McCaul served as Chief of Counter Terrorism and National Security in the U.S. Attorney’s office, Western District of Texas, and led the Joint Terrorism Task Force charged with detecting, deterring and preventing terrorist activity.  McCaul also served as Texas Deputy Attorney General under current U.S. Senator John Cornyn, and served as a federal prosecutor in the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section in Washington, D.C.
