Trey Gowdy Rips OPM For Disastrous Management of Hacked Govt. Identities Scandal

think was Germans German owner read a %HESITATION a regulation I would ask all the panelists to pay attention this little tedious but it's important if

new or unanticipated threats or hazards or discovered by either the government or the contractor or

if existing safeguards have ceased to function the discoverer shall immediately bring

the situation to the attention of the other party well Mr Hess Mister Agena net out where they're also contractual obligations

in this realm between you and the government there well and they would be what similar to that notice

unnoticed provision I don't have an immediate recollection of these exact text but it is civilly okay

I think it's helpful sometimes to define terms of particularly for those of us that our little arts majors %HESITATION

and don't deal with this what is a newer unanticipated threat or has Mr Hess that

won't why because I just heard one person say she didn't know and her other say it was really

didn't think so which that doesn't really help me understand the regulation because it says contractor doesn't say DHEA so

why did you notify the contract at that time we were still investigating what had happened in our network what
