Areas, and sustaining existing capabilities. But, again, that measure can be better. On the administrative management side, weve made progress in measuring our ability to effectively, efficiently release the funding, monitor programmatic use of the funds, monitor grantee Financial Management of the funds, monitor the closing of the awards and grantee draw down. Were making progress, mr. Chairman, weve got an opportunity to make even more. Thanks. Yes, sir. For us, i think its about getting good, quality information and data for us to make the right decisions on when we issue a card. Its about continuing to get that information after we issue the cards so we can monitor the individual to ensure they havent done something as to disqualify them. Whether its on a terrorism watch list or something through a criminal issue. I think the other thing that is going to make us better is installing readers. We believe that the coast guard, whom were close partners with, made the right decision to
This process. Ill just this is a long time ago, but ill share an experience with you. I bought a company in puerto rico, put it into four containers, all the equipment. Everything that was there. All four container arrived at one of my plants here. All the seals were there. When we opened the containers, everything of significant value that could have been marketed was gone. But the seals were still there. So the fact is, and that was way before 9 11. That was in the 70s. But the fact is, that people will try to do it. So my question is, is i guess my question is really this, do we have the capability to track ships from the time they leave a port until the time arrive here and know whether or not theyve been boarded or accessed between this embarkment and the embark here .

Our efforts have borne fruit, but strained resources and a lack of awareness undercut our ability to respond to increasing reports of cyber stalking.

Ill get to the stalking, but in commercial use, i dont believe theres any evidence of harm. Virtually all the concern expressed stems from speculative harms that could happen, but not actually ones that have happened. Third, our view is that the some of the provisions in the bill, particularly the private right of action, could be stifling of innovation, particularly in the apps space, where the average size of the top 800 apps for android or apple, the average company size is 25 employees.
