Thanks very much.
Thanks very much for appearing before us again this afternoon. It's nice to see you again. I want to add my congratulations to the other voices around the table for the great work that you've been doing. We appreciate what you've been doing.
Certainly, as my colleague said, we look forward to your audit with Veterans Affairs. Certainly, an inappropriate action has occurred, and we all look forward to getting to the bottom of this issue. We'll all be watching the timeframe of that investigation.
What I really wanted to direct my comments to were the Facebook and Google issues. You certainly are well aware that we have done the Google study here--we've started it, but have not completed it--and are looking forward to hearing from Google again, hopefully in the near future. I must admit that I have not read the report you released today; I haven't seen that report yet, but I will be looking for it in the very near future with anticipation.
I realize that you've been addressing a lot of issues with both Facebook and Google. Can you give us any more of an update about this, on what's been resolved, what's still outstanding, and what might be happening as you continue to work with them?
Can you also talk a little bit about the comment you made in your opening remarks in which you said that later this month you would be at an international conference “co-sponsoring a resolution that would see privacy considerations become embedded into the design, operation, and management of information technologies”? Will this impact Facebook and Google? Is this going to be in conjunction with EU countries? Who will be impacted?
