The issue of data collection is critical

I want to again, thank of all our witnesses for their patience.

How do we--as policymakers here, how do we set this up to where we find the most effective combination of carrots and sticks?

The Graves Amendment should be repealed.

One of the things I pick up in my State, even from the folks who want lower taxes and less government, they still are comfortable with us investing in infrastructure.

We need strong laws, visibly enforced; consumer education about those laws, and the fact that they're being enforced, and how they can protect themselves; and then we need to look at the role of technology.

Well, really, I have other questions that I may submit for the record, because, again, some of this is detailed, about some of the specific programs and some of your specifics in your testimony.

Combating drunk driving has been a focus of mine for nearly twenty years and it will stay a focus until it is eliminated.

Mr. Strickland, thank you for being here today. And, like I said, I have some follow-up questions that I'll submit in writing.

We need to go to sanctions, especially for laws on primary enforcement seatbelt law, teens, motorcycle helmets, and drunk driving.

Yes, sir, Mr. Pratt?

You said in your opening statement that you support the goals of this legislation. Are there areas in the bill that you think we need to work on?

I think it is good policy.

This has become such a problem, and my sense is the current state of the law is not sufficient to handle it.

I want to thank Chairman Inouye, who graciously allowed me to pick up this issue and to carry it forward.

Listen, I want to thank all of you for being here today and all your preparation and your time involved in getting here and testifying today.

Thank you for holding today's hearing on the National Flood Insurance Program. I appreciate your attention to this important topic.

Do you like the way we've tried to set the trigger in our legislation, or could you improve on that?

Is it your position that the existing Federal laws... really cover every instance of data breach?

I do think it provides a very comprehensive system framework.

The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse recently estimated that since 2005 a half billion sensitive records have been breached.
