Party chairmen of the i would find it i would be shocked if the court which is not a necessary and says it has to be total population in this case. They dont need to decide that to resolve this case. They can leave it open. If it becomes a problem they can reach it at some later time. Questions from the press. My question is for hashim. You kept saying voters and suggested [inaudible] arent asking for voters or are they asking for citizen voting age population . The cameras are asking that if you have questions come to the mic. Its not being picked up. Im sorry. I will mumble it now. You kept saying voters and suggested, for example, that prisons in rural areas would not be counted because they are felons. But are they asking for voters that are literally eligible to vote or of asking for citizen age voting population . Results are different. So the brief is a little come the plaintiffs a brief vessel agnostic about. As i read it there focus on eligible voters. There are a lot of diffe
Models for departments for the federal government are very organizational, departmentalspecific. When we talk about trying to understand and bring data together and consolidate, i know treasury is doing a great deal of work on this as well, trying to figure out how do you move the data between systems, but then how do you move the data not just between those systems but between the systems outside of the federal government. That becomes a cultural shift that has to happen. And its going to take a lot of buyin to make that work. But that will allow for i think a much Greater Movement of information and data across the government, which will make it more valuable for everyone. Actually just one more thing to add there. On the reretrieval side of things, theres two big things that prevent us from fully automating the work we do. One is, even if the data is available online, oftentimes you need to submit some sort of form or theres some sort of limit on how many rows of data can be downloa
Good morning. The Judiciary Committee will come to order and without objection the chair is authorized to declare recesses of the committee at any time. Welcome everyone to this mornings legislative hearing on h. R. 699 the email privacy act and i will begin by recognizing myself for an opening statement. Todays hearing examines h. R. 699 the email privacy act and the need to modernize the electronic indications privacy act and in enacting it 30 years ago Congress Declared that the laws purpose was to achieve a fair balance between the privacy expectations of american citizens in the legitimate needs of law and fortunes and First Nations is bigger for First Nations these piriformis decades old outdated law has been a priority as chairman of the committee not to working with members of Congress Advocacy groups on Law Enforcement for years on many complicated nuances involved in updating this law. Im i am pleased to now hold this important hearing to examine the leading reform proposals
And those are very difficult and challenging things. Its not a large solution to every piece of it. They want to continue to address some of the challenges. I think theres more to be done there. Moving to a different servicer affords a different opportunity and some other tools to be able to move it. There is work to be done there, and nsi extension was certainly part of that, the neighborhood stabilization. And i think its also about treating different buckets of delinquent loans even differently. Selling off decent condition notes is very different than selling a bunch of vacants. We havent seen real different treatment from the bulk sales programs. Going forward, maybe we do trstop that a little bit more. If your fha and servicers cant, or you dont want to do principal reduction, there is this idea that the note buyers getting a discount will be in a better position than economically incentive to do principal reduction. But right now we dont have a requirement that they do that. Sim
Protected material theres also, frankly, some law that points to things called administrative searches that might be seen as validation of the secs position. If i were to judge it, i would probably say come down against it, but nobody makes a lot of money predicting the Supreme Court. Could it withstand the Fourth Amendment challenge in the courts do you think . I would say no. Thank you so much. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you, mr. Conyers. The chair recognizes the man from wisconsin for five minutes. Thank you. In the case of 2010 the sixth Circuit Court ruled that americas emails is protected by the Fourth Amendment. I agree with that holding. Since that decision, the sec has been unable to subpoena email content from Service Providers. Now mr. Cresny, i read your testimony and did you write it in 2009 . No, i wrote it okay, thank you very much. Now if the sec cannot currently subpoena email content from Service Providers, is it truthful to testify that if hr699 becomes law the s
