    Thanks for the heads-up on that report, Bob. It's a very thorough overview with some excellent recommendations. I was relieved to see that they acknowledge DHS should not be leading this effort.
    Another key acknowledgment is that cyber security is not a domestic issue, but requires international cooperation.

    Jeffrey,
    Thanks much for the comment. I look forward to watching this unfold and something tells me the new approach will involve a wide swath of folks, which is good news.
    Cheers,
    Bob

    I hope you're right about that, Bob. I really do!

    Bob - here's hoping plenty of Beltway residents (including those just moving here as part of the new Admt) will read the report. I think our buddy Harry Raduege and my MS colleague Scott Charney did a great job as co-chairs.
    One point I would temper your remarks with is on the level of federal R&D; - you're right, the level of federal spending is low, and should increase, but it is dwarfed by the amount of private-sector (tech company) R&D; investments in security.

    Lewis,
    I agree with you totally about Raduege and Charney. They really did well here.
    And that's a good point, of course, about private-sector R&D.; Another mutual friend of ours cornered me at the conference today and told me he wants to talk to you about that very thing... and idea on how to possibly steer some of your R&D; with his to make a very positive, potentially significant impact on security. I'll get you more separately.
    Cheers,
    Bob
