in response to the critique of the Senator from Arizona who says ours is really status quo and this is a large loophole, it is not status quo. No. 1, it is not required under law today; we require a public notice and a public hearing and a policy to be formulated at the local level that addresses inappropriate matter on the Internet, the World Wide Web, electronic mail, chatrooms, and other forms of direct electronic communication, such as hacking and other unlawful activities by monitors, and any other kind of dissemination of personal identification information regarding minors. That is not current law. The review body is the same review body in his legislation, the FCC. He requires a filtering software to be purchased, and you have to certify that with the FCC. We say that you have to implement a policy, have public hearings and meetings, and you have to submit that policy to the FCC for them to review to ensure that you have covered the areas that we require. That is not status quo.
