and i was told at that time that mr. olson had identified i think it was at least two or three other people. >> he has now been behind bars since december 1970. he has two children growing up without him. >> i have been through countless shoot-outs in vietnam. i have been through stuff in prison. i mean, i've been through pain. but that's a pain i simply cannot describe, you know, not being there for those children. >> reporter: la 1969, three police officers and four panthers wounded in this four and a half hour shoot-out at panther headquarters. hoover declared. a vietnam war hero had become hoover's worst nightmare. >> he was clearly the target of this area. the person who had to be put behind bars for the black panther party to be stopped. and consequently they said, well, if you didn't do that who cares. we think he belongs in jail anyway. >> reporter: internal fbi reports called for him to be neutralized as a panther leader. >> it might get someone fired, screw up their marriage if they are married, play havoc with, you

can come up -- come up to the mic so we can capture you on the -- >> i don't want to -- speak for mr. olson. but he came up with that and his thinking was, you know, just like in a parking lot, you have compact car parking. president olague: oh, right. >> that was his logic was on-street parking could be managed where you would have an incentive maybe a couple of spots that would be for compact or for priuses or the same thing that they're promoting with the h.o.v., you can get into the h.o.v. if you have a prius. that kind of thing. >> the city's logic for moirk parking. -- motorcycle parking. the city takes a space and divides it up into eight or 10 motorcycle spaces and collectively the fee is the same as if you had one car but spread out over 10 motorcycles and it's much cheaper to park there. for each motorcycle. >> the problem with compact space, they're not quite small enough that large cars just park there anyway. i think -- and something the size of a smart car, maybe a mini cooper, you might be able to size it down to where a large automobile could fit. president olague: i think w

. >> the chair recognizes mr. olson for one minute. >> i thank the chairwoman. as we all learned this morning, overseas hackers from china hacked into google email accounts. like sony, epsilon, and now google, my home state of texas has experienced a massive data breach in april of this year, with almost 3.5 million people had their personal information, their names, mailing addresses, and social security numbers compromised from the office of the texas comptroller. it was posted to a public server. there's a clear need for government, businesses, and citizens to work together to protect citizens' personal information. look forward to working with the chairwoman on comprehensive data security legislation. i thank the witnesses for coming, and i yield back the balance of my time. >> thank the gentleman, and turn our attention to the panel. we have a single panel of very distinguished witnesses joining us today. welcome. each of you have a prepared statement that will be placed but if you could summarize your statements remarks, we'd appreciate it. on our panel, w

the chair recognizes mr. olson for five minutes. >> thank you. i would like to welcome the witnesses. my first two questions are for you, mr. goldman. what is the chamber's view about items are recovered? >> generally, we have supported carve out some midget car alps -- carve outs. >> ok. one witness stated that the ftc thought that a reasonable risk was the right thing because erring on the side of caution was necessary. >> the chamber does support a significant risk standard. there are two possibilities. where customers are over notified and they ignore it and then when a real risk occurs, they do not take any action. or, they get a notice and react immediately and cancel their credit cards. we prefer to have a significant risk standard. >> i have other questions for specific witnesses. if you'll remember company suffered from a security beach, -- security breach, how to better help consumers avoid identity theft. >> many of the elements that are currently in the bill, we actually tried to follow over the years. for example, data minimization is

mr. olson, a member of the energy and commerce committee. the chair: the gentleman from texas is recognized for two minutes. mr. olson: thank you, madam chairman, and thanks to my colleague from kentucky for giving me this time. i rise in strong support of h.r. 2021, the jobs and energy permitting act. this bill will help clarify and improve e.p.a.'s decision making and air permitting off the coast of alaska and restore much-needed certainty to that regulatory process. estimates show that the seas have the potential to produce up to one million barrels of oil per day while creating over 50,000 american jobs. it is unacceptable that the bureaucratic process has caused a race for five years and continues to block american energy resources from being developed. this bill would hold the administration accountable for its actions and provide the certainty so desperately needed by the private sector to grow jobs and get our economy back on track. at a time of record high gas prices, we should be comm

. >> the chair recognizes mr. olson for 20 minutes. >> i think a chair for their tenacious leadership in bringing forward this jobs bill. sthink there is agreement we need to move forward in the federal data security legislation. the federal legislation has been bipartisan. colleagues from florida will put forth a security bill in the 109th congress, which mr. rush introduced in the 110th 111th congresses. our chairman, ms. bono mack has put forth a bill. i appreciate efforts to move us forward on this important issue and i hope we can arrive at a truly bipartisan balanced bill that protects consumers without putting unnecessary burdens on companies are hindering important uses of data. i look forward to continuing our discussion today and hope to build to flesh out issues and recent testimony. i think the chair and yelled that time. >> i thank the gentleman. the chair recognizes mr. butterfield for five minutes. >> i thank the chairman apologized for being late. the only thing i can say is don't trade to going to union

mr. olson: all major physician insurers have cut rates, giving texas doctors affordable premiums, allowing them to focus on quality of care. texas is a model for tort reform for the nation. i urge the congress to adopt a similar policy to save our nation billions in medical costs. the chair: the -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. are there further one-minute requests? under the speaker's announced policy of january 5, 2011, the gentleman from new york, mr. tonko is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the minority leader. mr. tonko: thank you, mr. speaker. this evening, i will be joined by my colleague from california, representative garmeppedy. he and i will discuss for this next hour the issues that deal with a program that is tremendously popular in this country that deals with our senior population as they have the resources through a program dubbed medicare that enables them to enjoy with dignity their senior years. and to be able to have the security of

the chair is happy to recognize mr. olson for five minutes. >> i thank the chair. commissioner ramirez, welcome. thank you for your time today. as you know, safe data act would require to begin to notify as promptly as possible -- and that's a quote -- individuals whose personal information was acquired or assessed in a breach following an assessment, and notification should be based on risk of harm. not just on the fact a breach had occurred. otherwise, we may find ourselves in a situation where consumers are flooded with notices by companies to become desensitized and may not take action to protect themselves when there's a real risk due to a significant breach where personal, identifiable information was stolen and identity theft could occur. as currently drafted, this legislation standing for risk is, quote, reasonable risk of harm. in response, my colleague congressman sterns' questions, you said that is the standard the f.t.c. supports. do you think consumers would be better served in the long run if the standard was changed to, quote, significant risk of har

the chair now recognizes mr. olson for five minutes. >> i think the witnesses for your expertise. in my home state of texas, we experienced a serious and troubling data breach earlier this year, names, addresses, social security numbers, and in some cases birth dates and driver's license numbers were posted on bankert bid on a public server. in response, the state attorney general and fbi launched a criminal investigation into the data breach. unfortunately, these are happening more frequently and they cost businesses tens of billions of dollars annually. the federal trade commission estimates that 9 million individuals and the united states have their identity stolen every year. this is the equivalent of approximately 17 identity stolen every minute. it that means during course of this hearing, 85 identities across this country will be stolen during my testimony. there was a tool created for texans to receive updated information about a data breach, along with recommended security steps to take. the actually put up a toll-free number, and the comptroller is offering credit monito
