Finally at this point, Mr. Speaker, I note that one change that I think I support but I have some concerns about is that the Patent and Trademark Office would be authorized to publish documents electronically. That makes sense, but because of the lack of vigorous encryption involved in the world and in government offices, I do have concerns as to the security of such publication. I do not know whether that can be addressed in the bill, but I do want to raise the issue, and my 5 minutes is expired.
