mr. ozment or whoever else understands the i.t. systems when we did this in the private sector, we differentiated between someone who hacked into our system and someone who stole something from us because there are two levels of involvement and so have you been able to make the distinction between where the hackers were and had access of where things were exposed and where they possibly downloaded data? >> thank you, representative. that is an important distinction and one we spent a lot of our investigative time examining. for the personnel records the approximately 4.2 million records, the incident respond team led by dhs and the partners learned it was ex fill traited, meaning it was removed by the network by the adversary who took it and we are continuing to investigative the information. >> i appreciate you. i don't mean to cut you off. and i wish we had more time. and i heard about the data and it heard about the social security numbers and that might have been ex filt rated. and health data do we collect health data on our e
