Whats next . Guest well those hearings i think were very helpful at educating members of the committee and other members of congress and the general public about the importance of this issue. Interestingly we have already scheduled a hearing on encryption before the apple fbi controversy broke out to the publics attention and we were right thing pleased with the presentation made by all of the witnesses at the hearing but i think the number one thing that comes across is encryption is a good thing and a very important thing and we have got to find our way through this not be weakening encryption but by continuing effort to strengthen it and you only need to look at the problems that we have had with foreign governments, with criminal enterprise, with hackers stealing millions of documents from Government Agencies and alleys of credit card records from retail establishments, financial establishments to know that we need to be moving toward stronger uses of encryption and stronger encryp
