But one of the points I tried to make in the hearing and I think we need to underscore it and I just want to get your comment on it. If we don't take that first step, If we don't allow that information sharing which does allow us to, you know, share that threat signature which can prevent attacks, it's not a panacea, it's not going to protect everything. But the more attacks we can prevent, we are protecting Americans privacy. Can you just comment on that? First of All I think people need to understand that the amount of information that's collected, disseminated and stored through the Internet, by most projections, is expected to double and triple every two years going forward.
