Dave,

For IP?

CRA submitted written testimony to the President's IT Advisory Committee
(PITAC) as part of the committee's review of the current state of cyber
security R&D. In a nutshell, we're concerned that the federal effort is
under-funded and poorly balanced between short and long-term efforts.
Additionally we are concerned that current law has a chilling effect on 
some
research efforts in cyber security, and that current agency policies at 
odds
with basic research practice appear to be driving university-based
researchers away from research funded by critical mission agencies.

The full testimony (pdf, 264k) can be found here:

Thanks!

-Peter
