I am concerned the SEC did not consider small entities when it proposed the conflict minerals disclosure rule...

Certainly as we go forward in this process, efforts by the GSA that you are describing need to continue.

We really do not know how many properties the federal government owns.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Serrano. Peggy, thanks for being here today.

I think in our debates in Washington, D.C., we focus a lot on the economy, job creation, unemployment.

I just think you would agree, it seems like we cannot say with accuracy how many properties we own...

So there is no policing to determine whether agencies are uploading it?

I happen to strongly disagree and believe that Americans expect that their email is not being read by the Federal Government.

One of the things we are endeavoring to do is we look to try to balance the federal budget, get our books balanced here, find smart ways to reduce spending.

Which, Mr. Secretary, is one of the reasons that we are not going to be supportive of the President's budget, because it drives those obligation up even further, therefore increasing further demands on a debt ceiling increase.

I have had folks argue that it is an investment by spending money in the IRS.
