it and the homeland security council. i don't think that makes any sense. i think the senior director is there, the weight is structured, ought to be some self synchronization that works across each of those offices, from understanding better the threats overseas or to a country that areia, and those currently coping with more homeland security related issues , not only affecting the elections, but countering russian disinformation and denial. so there are structural i think changes that have to be made. think it worked ok, but there are some structural aspects of this that we need to work on. you need an organization that has the tools to understand better what the threats are from cyber disinformation warfare and also have the tools available to address it. those tools are not just cyber tools. those tools are other informational tools, also sanctions, law enforcement actions that can be taken, and the effort is to be able to mobilize all elements of like-mindeder and partners. this is in the private sector, it is extre
