Comment by Helen Toner
Interim Executive Director at Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET); former OpenAI board member
Most of the information that is of greatest interest from a national security and public interest perspective would not damage competitiveness if disclosed appropriately. [...] The U.S. government can also use existing authorities, such as the Defense Production Act, to require companies to share information via secure channels.

Quote attributed to Helen Toner (CSET) from her 2026-04-22 Senate Judiciary testimony. The source_url (official judiciary.senate.gov testimony PDF) returns HTTP 403 Forbidden and cannot be fetched directly; the CSET official summary article also returns 403. A web search confirmed the first sentence of the quote nearly verbatim ("most of the information of greatest interest from a national security perspective would not damage competitiveness if disclosed appropriately") and that Toner advocates appropriate disclosure/information-sharing of AI model info to government — consistent with the "for" vote on mandating reporting of large training runs. However, I could not independently confirm the second sentence (Defense Production Act / secure channels) because the source URL blocks automated access. Year (2026), author attribution, and vote direction all appear correct, but marking ai_unverifiable since the source could not be directly fetched.
