The GAO report was frankly disappointing.  I hope that
the powers that be at DARPA, NSF, et. al. understand 
what happened and why more clearly than the GAO seems
to have.  Moreover, I hope that they apply their own 
knowledge and experience to the problems in network
security rather than just adding "yet another" 
coordinating committee or group or agency as the GAO
seems to suggest.
