I just want to end with a statement saying that it does worry me that foreign agents could operate through a chain of command, and it's very hard to trace that chain of command back to the individuals who are overseas and acting as a foreign principal. There should be emphasis placed on the actual conviction, because if you can't get a criminal conviction for an individual who is engaging in these acts, then what's the deterrence? The deterrence is basically just the legal expenses and dealing with the embarrassment and inconvenience of a trial. They're not going to get convicted if that chain of command can't be traced back.
Thank you, Chair.
