I disagree in general with Ms. McPherson, but I would be open to the idea of saying that there should be a timeline around the response. I would be curious to know what other members around the table think.
If the concern is that a government could, theoretically, maliciously not respond, or give bad information to certain organizations that it doesn't like, which was, I think, the implication, I don't think it's that likely in this process, but I also think that's a risk in general with an authorization regime, isn't it? An authorization regime involves the government authorizing activity or not. If the concern is a timely response to that initial request, though, I think that's a plausible subamendment. I would be open to hearing what others think on that.
Again, I think this is a good compromise. If that subamendment is not forthcoming, then we should just adopt the amendment.
