A foreign influence registry is a tool. It is a very effective tool, in my belief, but it's one tool among many. It's also a tool that has been used by some of our allies. There are registries, as I'm sure you know, in the U.K. and Australia, and the U.S. has had legislation in this area since the late 1930s.
It's bringing us into line with what is currently used by many of our allies in this same area. I think it will help reinforce some of the relationships we have when we know that this tool is in place and there are means to have greater transparency regarding some of these influence activities that are taking place and targeting our processes.
