Sure we are not only providing Law Enforcement the tools it needs, but protecting our citizens privacy. I certainly commit to you to working with you on this important legislation and all the issues that will flow from it. Thank you so much. Trade secrets are among the most valuable assets for American Companies and currently are protected under federal criminal law by the economic espionage act and by an array of state civil laws. Unlike other forms of intellectual property, theres no remedy r for trade secret owners. I will reintroduce the defend trade secrets act in the coming days to provide an official remedy for trade secret owners. Do you agree they should have the same access to a federal remedy as owners of other forms of intellectual property . Senator, i think that the issue of trade secrets, again, particularly as American Technology becomes ever more complex and becomes ever more a target from those both in the u. S. And without who would seek to steal it, is an increasing
Opposed to act in a different way. But where there is an indication that the vote will somehow be harmed, i believe the department of justice certainly has the obligation to review that matter and look carefully at all of the facts and evidence and proceed accordingly. I couldnt agree with you more. And i find it ironic and painful that at this moment in our history, as we celebrate with the movie selma and talk about 50 Year Anniversary of the Voting Rights act that many states are making it more difficult for americans to vote, without any evidence of voter fraud to back up those changes. In one Southern State it is estimated that 600,000 voters were basically precluded from voting in election because of new voter i. D. Requirements. In that same state a 93yearold veteran was turned away. A 73yearold doctor turned away, people who were proud and wanted to vote turned away by new laws, people who had a right to vote and it troubles me that amidst all of the celebration of the Civil Ri

For all citizens while still protecting the integrity of every ballot. Absent that, when the laws are passed, the department of justice has to look carefully at their impact with how to proceed. There were instances when voter i. D. Laws had received preclearance because they sought to protect the ballot as opposed to act in a different way. But where there is an indication that the vote will somehow be harmed, i believe the department of justice certainly has the obligation to review that matter and look carefully at all of the facts and evidence and proceed accordingly. Fully at all of the facts and evidence and proceed accordingly. I couldnt agree with you more. And i find it ironic and painful that at this moment in our history, as we celebrate with the movie selma and talk about 50 Year Anniversary of the Voting Rights act that many states are making it more difficult for americans to vote, without any evidence of voter fraud to back up those changes.
