With that widespread support, I am wondering why the Department determined not to go forward with this in the 2012-2017 plan.

We need to have the ability at some point to compel them to come into compliance.

I would actually like to see some tougher responses to the issue of those elements of critical infrastructure that don't meet those standards or requirements.

I think that their rejectionist attitude toward Kosovo is negative--more so negative for Serbia than anybody else, unfortunately.

I think that is a, false premise and b, a very dubious course for the Federal Government to follow.

I want to also add, which I think is important to point out, is that most Serbs in Kosovo lie south of the river.

The problem is that these cases don't even get investigated much less prosecuted.

I was, frankly, disappointed that they called for mandatory minimum sentences for certain crimes of damaging critical infrastructure computers because mandatory minimums have been found to waste the taxpayers' money, do nothing about crime…

I certainly don't think they are in any way disregarded.

I am opposed to this legislation. I believe it is unnecessary.

Many argue that taking ethnic and racial trends to account in policing is a rational and efficient method.

The past 20 years has seen a dramatic decrease in crime levels across the United States.

Those old, 20th century assumptions have been proven wrong.

So why we would have a carveout for IRS, I don't know.

You have to start thinking about how would I implement such a bill which could have, under worst-case scenario, a 10 percent reduction in the work force.

I have yet to find a single corporation in America that would agree with that, that just arbitrarily saying we are going to cut back 10 percent and stay there.

Sadly, this committee is headed in exactly the opposite direction. We approved legislation yesterday that would guarantee at least a 10 percent reduction in this agency and all Federal agencies.

Good luck, Mr. Miller, in getting a waiver from the White House for your operation.
