Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for being here today.
As I entered the room, I assured the witnesses that we were here today to learn a bit about what we can learn about this issue. Mr. Bard appeared before us earlier in our study. I think he gave us, as a committee, a pretty clear assurance that the actual security systems on the Hill are as secure as we can possibly ask for, and there's a lot of good activity going on surrounding the security.
Your entire address this morning dealt with IT security. As you know, we're dealing with another issue today that delves into some of that, but broadens out into the Anonymous group. Could you just tell me briefly what you're aware of in terms of Anonymous, how they operate, and what kinds of threats they may pose in terms of hacking into IT systems here on the Hill?
