mr. butler -- ms. barr. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and my questions are going to be a little more directed to you as well. i really found interesting in the survey you provided us, with 40% of our small businesses are not hiring as much as they could come we're not talking about -- it's difficult to create new businesses, in my state leslie i heard a lot let's get new capital and expense i can think we need to protect the business owners who are currently -- those small guys are struggling right now should be our immediate focus. that's the quickest way to get job growth in our country. i 13, 14% unemployment. i the double-digit unemployment for three years now in my biggest county. it's because primary small business based economy. and i was looking through these answers that they gave you, 79% said they were worried revenues their sales wouldn't be able to justify the new employees. no one will buy what they're selling so it's not worth it to expand. worried about cash flow or ability to make payroll. i can take either low small bus

mrs. butler: lewis county, 13.2%, 12.5%. 11.8%. 12.9%. and 8%. one of the reasons and let me compare those numbers quickly. you know, one of the reasons that i'm not happy about 8%, i'm not happy about 13%, but there's a slight difference in the reason that the counties are slightly lower than other counties and that's where the state government is housed so there are more government jobs, more public sector jobs in that area. ms. herrera beutler: but the rest of the district and even in thirsten county is based on small businesses. those are the hearts and souls of our economy. small business owners, entrepreneurs, mom and pop shops. i got to tour a vacuum pump, an engineer that started a small little company, built it up, he's passing it onto his son, who he's now expanded into two accounts and he has a vision to grow and hire people. in fact, he has been able to stay afloat these last few years because a lot of the trade that he's done, he's done, he deals with other corporations and other companies across the world, which is one of the reason

mr. butler, are you comfortable that there is a good process by which you can go back and forth between a law enforcement regime and a national security regime? as a follow-up, does anybody see utility for an international cyber arms community? >> in terms of going back and forth, i would say it is getting better. it is a work in progress. i would also say that if an event occurs, for all of the ones i can think of, it is law enforcement first. then we come with them to do forensics. the question you posed is not a question we have actually answered yet. >> i think that is right. one of the ways we actually put light to the response is that we have a standing group. dhs is involved as well as the department of defense. where we began to work through the determination of what the activity is and what we need to do next. i think that when we look at the partnership and figure out when an event actually is moving in a different direction, -- >> that is part of what the response plan is supposed to be. we have done that. we have created it. we are revising it. it is never going to be done. it
