Mr. Chair, the question still has not been answered. Just because some of our allies may see it as a benefit doesn't mean it's going to be a benefit for us.
What I'm asking him and he still hasn't answered, is what is the benefit? What do you see as the end result in this? What do you see in this data that would actually be valuable to us, instead of spending resources and significant amounts of money gathering data that really, in my mind, doesn't mean anything? It's like taking a shotgun to a mosquitofest; you're not going to accomplish anything in the end.
So what do you see as the end result in this? Because we can get the data as well from people we catch, which I would think would be much more important, to find the people who are caught and then do surveys of them and find out how we can catch additional people rather than just a conglomerate of information that really doesn't accomplish anything? That's why I'm asking, what do you see as the end game in this?
Just because our allies put this data together doesn't mean that it's of any interest to us and maybe they have a lot more money than us. Just because Italy and Greece are doing very well economically doesn't mean we should follow their path. What I'm asking is, what's the endgame, what's the benefit that he sees?
