The quote is authentic and verbatim. The official Grassley press release dated May 15, 2025 contains the exact sentence, “Protecting whistleblowers who report AI security vulnerabilities isn’t just about workplace fairness—it’s a matter of national security,” and explicitly attributes it to “Obernolte said,” i.e., Rep. Jay Obernolte. ([grassley.senate.gov](https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-introduces-ai-whistleblower-protection-act))

Web search confirms the exact quote from Representative Jay Obernolte. He introduced companion AI Whistleblower Protection Act legislation in the House alongside Rep. Ted Lieu in May 2025. The quote is featured in the Grassley press release (source URL). Year (2025) is correct. Vote alignment is correct: Obernolte's "for" matches statement "Grant whistleblower protections to AI safety researchers" — he co-introduced the House companion bill. Could not WebFetch the source URL (HTTP 403) but search results explicitly cite the exact quote from this press release.
