ABSTRACT
Chairman Hatch, we thank you and Senator Leahy for the opportunity to testify today on the important issue of Internet security and privacy. We congratulate both of you, and Senator Schumer, for your leadership and foresight in beginning to grapple with these difficult issues, both from the law enforcement perspective and from the consumer privacy perspective. S.2448 and the other introduced bills have served to launch an important dialogue. Consensus has not been achieved yet, and we share with you today some of our concerns about various proposals that are being put forth, but CDT is committed to working with you, Mr. Chairman, and other members of this Committee, to develop narrowly focused and properly balanced legislation.
