Hello.
I would like to thank the witnesses for taking part in this important exercise.
I have a practical question for you. Clearly, we are concerned about protecting privacy in the context you are familiar with. The federal government is a huge organization, with many departments and agencies, and personal information is collected under many programs.
In this context, what practical steps can be taken to combine the need to protect privacy with the need to offer citizens services that are effective, less expensive and more modern, as a result of technology?
The question is open to all the witnesses.
