1 could tell you what they know without risk of retribution
2 from the -- or violation of their NDAs.
3 Have you submitted a public-facing website product for
4 approval to your superiors and how long has it been under
5 review?
6 Mr. Kirkpatrick: I have. We submitted the first
7 version of that before Christmas.
8 Senator Gillibrand: And do you have an estimate from
9 them when they will respond and when you will have feedback
10 on that?
11 Mr. Kirkpatrick: No, I do not.
12 Senator Gillibrand: Okay. We will author a letter
13 asking for that timely response to your superiors.
14 When do you expect that you will establish a public-
15 facing discoverable and access portal for people to use to
16 contact your office as the law requires?
17 Mr. Kirkpatrick: So I would like to, first, say thank
18 you all very much for referring the witnesses that you have
19 thus far to us. I appreciate that. We have brought in
20 nearly two dozen so far. It has been very helpful.
21 I would ask that you continue to do that until we have
22 an approved plan. We have a multi-phased approach for doing
23 that that we have been socializing and have submitted for
24 approval sometime. Once that happens then we should be able
25 to push all that out and get this a little more automated.
