Edolphus Towns: “I am planning to introduce a bill to ban this type of insecure open network peer-to-peer software from all Government…”

The Honorable Edolphus Towns, a Member of Congress from the State of New York, Opening Statement

I would like to hear from our witnesses whether and how both of their preferred outcomes can be achieved.

We should take swift action to pass it in this Congress.
