You know, when you see these breaches and this massive amount of data, you know, whether it's in the private sector or within opm, I'm always kind of scratching my head going, what are people going to be using with this information. I think it's widely believed that this breach was really not really about trying to utilize the personal information for criminal activity, but as a breach from a nation state really having to do with national security. One of the things we would like to do, certainly I'd like to be briefed by the National Counterintelligence and Security Center. I would just ask you to help facilitate that type of briefing.
