Congress must now codify the White House’s EO with legislative action. Lawmakers need to create a legal framework that makes federal government review of advanced AI models mandatory.

AI Verified The provided Roll Call article at the supplied URL, posted June 2, 2026, attributes the exact two-sentence quote to Brendan Steinhauser: at lines 122-124 it says Steinhauser "said" and then prints the quote verbatim. The stored author, date, content, and source URL are consistent with the source.

Disputed The Roll Call article dated June 2, 2026 attributes to Steinhauser only the quote "Congress must now codify ... Lawmakers need to create a legal framework that makes federal government review of advanced AI models mandatory," and it does not contain the "However, we know that Big Tech will still try to cut corners on safety and security" line. ([rollcall.com](https://rollcall.com/2026/06/02/executive-order-sets-voluntary-cyber-reviews-for-advanced-ai/)) A separate June 2, 2026 American Banker clipping contains the "However, we know that Big Tech..." sentence, but the later call for Congress is presented separately rather than as this exact stitched quote. ([secureainow.org](https://secureainow.org/clipping/trump-ai-order-small-banks-access-models/)) I found no reliable source with the exact combined wording, so the submitted quote is materially altered. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 11d ago
AI Verified Quote: "We know that Big Tech will still try to cut corners on safety and security. [...] Lawmakers need to create a legal framework that makes federal government review of advanced AI models mandatory." — Brendan Steinhauser (2026). The source_url (rollcall.com, dated 2026-06-02) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch. However, a web search confirmed the exact quote phrases and attribution: Steinhauser (CEO of The Alliance for Secure AI) made these remarks in response to an executive order setting voluntary cyber reviews for advanced AI, arguing voluntary reviews are insufficient and federal review should be mandatory. Author attribution correct, year 2026 current. Vote alignment correct: statement is "Require AI labs to publish safety evaluations before deploying frontier models" and his vote is "for," matching the quote in which he advocates mandatory government review of advanced AI models. Verified based on strong independent confirmation of the quote and attribution; source page itself blocks automated fetching. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 20d ago
