Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Just following up on CAIRS for a moment, since Mr. Wrzesnewskyj raised it, Professor Roberts also said in that same article in 2003 that “No other country maintains a government-wide data base like CAIRS. CAIRS is a product of a political system in which centralized control has become an obsession.” What do you think of Professor Roberts' comment, given that date and time and what was going on then?
