Mr. Chairman, I would again like to express my support for the legislation. Of course, as the Chair has heard, there are amendments that will be offered to hopefully strengthen the legislation. But, again, the concept of trying to improve the information technology of our Federal workers, their training, and to provide some type of exchange program is a concept which I support. Again, I commend the gentleman from Virginia (Chairman Tom Davis) for his efforts and thank him for the sections of the bill that he has included that have been suggested by the minority, as well as the amendment that the gentleman will offer, which, though it does not fully address the concerns shared by the gentleman from California (Mr. Waxman), does address some of the concerns that have been talked about among us over the last several days.
