Think that it will increase my skills and so we would say yes that makes sense and sometimes we dont. In terms of the flow of partnerships and information back and forth, ive been very public about saying for the National Security agency i would like us to create a model where the members of our workforce dont necessarily spend 30 or 45 years working directly for us which has been made historic norm. Its amazing when i say tell me how long youve been with the nsa. 30, 35 years, 38 years. I said goodbye to an employee after 50 years. When ive talked about is particularly given the state of the technology, we have to create a world where evil from nsa can leave for life and work in the private sector provides also like to create a world where does private sector can come spend a little time with us because one of the challenges is the nation that we are dealing with and you have seen this play out over the last year or so in particular. We talk past each other a lot because we dont under
Illegally. Cybersecurity is obvious. And protecting the infrastructure from cyber and terrorist attacks. And the fourth priority was i want to do everything i can to make sure secretary jay johnson, who is an honorable man, i want to make sure he succeeds in the mission of keeping the country safe. Lets go to cybersecurity. We have had a number of hearings on this. I ask witnesses what are the top proorities and thinks we have to get done. The top priority is facilitate the sharing of information. And i am talking about threat signatures, vulnerabilities. We are not talking about the meta data. It is just impossible for businesses to have to really try to comply with a multitude of different jurisdicational requirements for data breaches. It is cruci w it is crucial we set of federal standard. Those are the those are the top two priorities. Those should be Pretty Simple to accomplish but it has not been simple because you have a legitimate interests. People concerned about american pri
The following move to the regulatory piece, i want to make one other comments. One thing i dont want to be losses why Companies Like ours and others support the information sharing legislation. Partly because to date when we try to stop the cyberthreat it requires lawyers to analyze a variety of statutes weather is electronic communications, determining what we can do so a big aspect of the information sharing that is not talked about as much is the actual authorization component of the legislation so specifically authorization for companies to do things like monitor their networks or take action to stop the attacks or in the last panel ryan asked a question about Liability Protection if you dont act on the threat.

Let me just recount things that happened locke the way too so people have understanding where we are and where we have ended up on policy issues. Four years a
