Mr. President, I want to conclude our comments--at least my comments here--by saying we all believe that greater awareness of the size of this problem and the effort that is being made every day to deal with it will create an important set of information as we move forward. This is a piece of legislation that is really focused on providing information, not in enough detail to weaken our efforts but enough information so people know this is not a casual conversation, that the cyber threat is real, that we are responding to it all the time, and, frankly, Members of Congress need to have even more information than we have on how much intensity, how much time, how much response is being made. I say to Senator Whitehouse, thanks for bringing us together.
