There is no way to turn this clock back. I dont want to turn it back. We need to recognize inherent in each virtue, and i summarized them on the side, is the risk. To the degree that i concentrate or communicate or take people out of the loop, et cetera, to the degree i buy the benefits of this technology and each and everyone of those steps i introduced security consequences that are, give risk, give rise to greater risk, the virtue of the system is intertwined with its limitation, its liabilities and its risk. That is fundamental. It is not just that the complexity of the system gives me these problems. One reason Technology Fixes just dont get me there, every time i buy more security i tend to do so in ways that are involving sacrifice of virtues.

Particularly given the fact that during the last campaign, we heard a lot about investing in infrastructure and the gentleman is here tonight wanting to further reduce that particular investment. This is an important account to every american citizen. I support the committees position and i am opposed to the gentlemans amendment and i would yield back the balance of my time. The chair the gentleman from florida is recognized. Mr. Dia
