>> i would say, rick cooper, department staff. that's generally correct. when you do an environmental impact report you have alternatives that address the impact of the project and in that case, we are already providing evidence that there would not be a significant and unvoidable impact. so the development of alternatives would kind of be an open question, i think. >> as far as the content of the rest of the eir with the addition of the language that you have provided, wouldn't the eir document itself pretty much be reflective of what we have already accomplished in this pmd? >> i believe that is correct. >> okay. lastly i guess staff mentioned that the eir even if there were any eir, the r

producers were shocked there was drinking going on at rick's bar, that you didn't know that this is what the government was up to, that you weren't cooperatingt all alon i'm a tech company and i haven't been cooperating with it all along. the problem is nobody really knows the rules of the game. these sections 215, the language is very unclear and the standards by which people are decisions are being made, they're not clear to anybody. until we have that transparency, then we don't have the world confidence. >> is the concern that the government doesn't allow you to disclose or that there is nothing to disclose? >> i think the tra transparency issue is a very important one but i think is anybody em-- nibbling arounded edges. we don't want the wholesale importation from the tech industry to the federal government prior to there being reasonable suspicion about your behaviour or mine, did some parties in the tech industry know, i can't sayment but i know we are concerned, certainly, that the individual citizen does not know what is happening to their data. >> is this a concern, we understand the individual citizens argument, privacy. but as fa
