So just so I understand before I get Mr. Kutz's response to this, if I might.

Obviously if someone has used fraudulent documents to get an ID document, that's not going to show up if you have a valid drivers license that was obtained through fraudulent means.

So it was the Social Security number that triggered the first two, and then there were facial differences I understand it on the next two that----

Would you just make available to our Subcommittee the cost issues here?

The hearing record will remain open for 1 week for additional statements and questions for the record.

So how far away are we from having that equipment located at the service centers?

But you did use that technology that was being used at other locations, you I guess switched them to where GAO was active.

So I guess the other thing that has me a little bit concerned in your response is that you said that you detected the two, therefore you knew that GAO was after you, or at least was doing their investigation, and then you changed your…

We depend upon clean and safe water for our way of life.

I just want to compliment you. In your written statement, you deal with the Civil Rights Unit's work, and you bring up the Danziger Bridge episode, which I think was the right steps taken by the FBI.
