On the recordApril 22, 2015
I thank the gentlewoman from Texas and the gentleman from Colorado for their amendment, and I am happy to support it. We create a lot of law in this body, and it is absolutely necessary that we establish reporting mechanisms that allow us to measure the effectiveness of the work that we do here. This is an amendment that will do just that. By requiring regular reports on the operation of the sharing mechanism that we are creating today, we can determine whether it is working as intended or whether it needs to be tweaked or changed to be more effective. We must always ensure that the government is fulfilling its obligation under this bill to remove personal information. Again, I want to thank Sheila Jackson Lee, as well as the gentleman from Colorado, for their efforts. I support the amendment.
