I think the bill is exactly right. It creates leadership. It moves to better metrics.

I am intrigued by other nations that are hacking into our system.

I do not believe that the website gives us the information that we need.

Let me just interrupt. I just thought that was a great example.

I am just going to ask maybe one quick question.

I think Canada uses the Internet for its census. I am told so far it has worked fairly well.

There is an old saying that if you fail to plan, then you should plan to fail.

We do not oversee contractors well.

I applaud the President's early commitment, including during his time in this body, to use technology to make government more transparent and more effective.

On the campaign trail, there was a lot of discussion, as I am sure you will recall, of using technology to make government more efficient, more transparent, and more secure.

Is that something you could see us doing in the Federal Government with this Administration?

I believe the Federal Government does need to lead by example.

We do not want the government to make rash decisions without first thinking things through.

Very good answer.

I think maybe that sort of--the way that we bring people into leadership positions for a relatively short period of time, a year or two, they are gone, we have vacancies, sometimes for extended periods of time before we fill them again.

I think there is probably a pretty good chance that we will be pushing for a similar kind of approach on the Census Director.

There is a reluctance to lean on contractors, and sometimes the government is flying blind.

That is a problem.
