I think it would be a mistake, actually, to say, 'Well, because we can't get it, you know, 100 percent, we should just give up.'

Tell me why you like the age 13, and why you think that shouldn't change.

This is the most important issue that we've talked about here today, understanding why that age for COPPA must be kept at 13

I think COPPA operates well as it is. I'm not necessarily talking about revisiting the actual legislation, but I do think we ought to think about what protections we could provide for teens.

I think there are a lot of people who appreciate COPPA and believe it plays an important role in safeguarding online privacy.

Is there room for improvement over at CMS?

I think you said in your written testimony that GAO estimates that there is at least 46 percent of fiscal year 2008 contract actions that did not meet the Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements, is that right?

And when you have compliance, are you talking about compliance with SEC and other rules and regulations, or are you talking about compliance with your own company policy?

And those rules work well, those disclosure rules work well.

Put your money where your mouth is. You put your money somewhere. Shouldn't they know that?

I mean, lawyers have to follow certain ethical standards. A doctor has to follow certain ethical standards.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I want to thank you for having this hearing this morning.

In the past 25 years, America has seen an increasing number and severity of financial crises.

So do you think you contributed, your actions contributed to the financial downturn that we experienced in 2008?
