00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,900
Vice President Biden:
We're going to be
relatively brief here.

2
00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:02,770
Thank you for being here.

3
00:00:02,767 --> 00:00:08,067
I'm going to ask Victoria,
who was responsible for

4
00:00:08,066 --> 00:00:12,136
drafting this significant
report here, to make a

5
00:00:12,133 --> 00:00:13,303
couple opening statements.

6
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:15,470
And I'm going to have
a few things to say.

7
00:00:15,467 --> 00:00:18,737
And then -- and then we're going
to get down to the business of

8
00:00:18,734 --> 00:00:20,134
how we implement all this.

9
00:00:20,133 --> 00:00:21,763
Victoria, the floor is yours.

10
00:00:21,767 --> 00:00:25,467
Ms. Espinel:
Thank you. When Congress this office: the office of the first

11
00:00:25,467 --> 00:00:28,067
United States Intellectual
Property Enforcement Coordinator,

12
00:00:28,066 --> 00:00:32,036
they envisioned an ambitious plan
on intellectual property enforcement.

13
00:00:32,033 --> 00:00:34,663
And I am proud to sit here today
and say that this administration

14
00:00:34,667 --> 00:00:36,597
has delivered such a plan.

15
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,170
First, let me thank the vice
president for his leadership.

16
00:00:39,166 --> 00:00:41,696
I also want to thank the Cabinet
members and their excellent

17
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:45,200
teams for the long hours they
have committed and will continue

18
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,430
to commit to protecting
America's ideas and ingenuity.

19
00:00:49,433 --> 00:00:52,733
We received and reviewed more than 1,600 public comments in

20
00:00:52,734 --> 00:00:55,834
putting together this strategy,
all of which are on our website

21
00:00:55,834 --> 00:00:56,904
for you to read.

22
00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:59,270
These responses describe the
problems facing the American

23
00:00:59,266 --> 00:01:03,596
workers, artists, engineers and
scientists and provided many

24
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,800
recommendations for how
their government could help.

25
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,870
I met face to face with the
people who live with these

26
00:01:08,867 --> 00:01:11,737
issues day to day, the small
businesses concerned about

27
00:01:11,734 --> 00:01:14,864
losing jobs to counterfeiting,
the clean-tech company whose

28
00:01:14,867 --> 00:01:17,797
investors are concerned
about theft overseas,

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,600
and entertainment production
workers and technicians whose

30
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,630
pension funds are at risk as
piracy drains their funding.

31
00:01:24,633 --> 00:01:27,303
These meetings with and comments
from the public helped us to

32
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:30,730
identify 33 action
items to combat

33
00:01:30,734 --> 00:01:33,134
intellectual property infringement.

34
00:01:33,133 --> 00:01:35,663
These fall into six
broad categories.

35
00:01:35,667 --> 00:01:38,867
First, we will lead by example,
and we will ensure that the

36
00:01:38,867 --> 00:01:42,767
United States government does
not use infringing products.

37
00:01:42,767 --> 00:01:46,567
Second, we will be transparent
and we will ensure that the

38
00:01:46,567 --> 00:01:48,197
public has good
information about our

39
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,800
policies and our actions.

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,970
Third, we will improve
coordination to increase

41
00:01:53,967 --> 00:01:56,337
our efficiency and
our effectiveness.

42
00:01:56,333 --> 00:01:58,663
Fourth, we will work with
foreign governments to

43
00:01:58,667 --> 00:02:00,497
enforce our rights overseas.

44
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:03,700
We will go after foreign-based
websites and other entities that

45
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:06,070
violate American intellectual
property rights,

46
00:02:06,066 --> 00:02:08,696
and we will prioritize
enforcement in important

47
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:11,100
foreign markets such as China.

48
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:13,830
Fifth, we will secure our
domestic supply chain,

49
00:02:13,834 --> 00:02:15,764
give law enforcement
more authority,

50
00:02:15,767 --> 00:02:18,737
and we will encourage voluntary
cooperation by the private

51
00:02:18,734 --> 00:02:21,304
sector to reduce infringing
products that are entering

52
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:24,600
our country through our
borders and over the Internet.

53
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,130
Finally, we will collect better
data so that we understand the

54
00:02:28,133 --> 00:02:31,503
jobs and the exports that are
tied to intellectual property.

55
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:35,670
And we will also assess our laws
to ensure they are as effective

56
00:02:35,667 --> 00:02:38,797
as possible in order to
combat theft of our ideas

57
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,500
and our creativity.

58
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,370
As a result of what we, the
United States government,

59
00:02:43,367 --> 00:02:45,697
have committed to
do in this plan,

60
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:48,270
I say to those that are
suffering from infringement,

61
00:02:48,266 --> 00:02:49,696
help is on the way.

62
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:51,670
We understand the
problems that you face,

63
00:02:51,667 --> 00:02:53,697
and we will work to
make things better.

64
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:57,000
We will protect you so that you
can get back to doing what you

65
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,300
do best, which is developing
America's next great idea.

66
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:03,870
To those who have for too long
abused the rights of America's

67
00:03:03,867 --> 00:03:06,867
creators, I have a warning for
you: We are committed to putting

68
00:03:06,867 --> 00:03:08,537
you out of business.

69
00:03:08,533 --> 00:03:10,903
Now that we have unveiled
our first joint strategic

70
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:13,100
plan on intellectual
property enforcement,

71
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:15,200
the hard work of
implementing it begins,

72
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,670
to ensure that we are
protecting our citizens,

73
00:03:17,667 --> 00:03:20,297
our businesses and our workers.

74
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:21,970
I look forward to working
with the president,

75
00:03:21,967 --> 00:03:24,097
the vice president,
the Cabinet members,

76
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:27,670
the Congress and our public as
we move forward with the goal of

77
00:03:27,667 --> 00:03:30,237
protecting America's
intellectual property rights and

78
00:03:30,233 --> 00:03:34,833
the American jobs, growth and
prosperity that come with them.

79
00:03:34,834 --> 00:03:34,964
Thank you.

80
00:03:34,967 --> 00:03:35,737
Vice President Biden:
Thank you very much.

81
00:03:35,734 --> 00:03:37,134
And by the way, thanks
for this report.

82
00:03:37,133 --> 00:03:39,703
This is a really
thorough report.

83
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:42,630
I've been doing -- I've been
engaged in this -- back in

84
00:03:42,633 --> 00:03:45,733
the days as chairman of the
Judiciary Committee --

85
00:03:45,734 --> 00:03:48,104
I've been engaged in this
for a long, long time.

86
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:49,600
The problem's not new.

87
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,970
It's getting worse, but
the problem's not new.

88
00:03:51,967 --> 00:03:54,937
And one of the things that's
been lacking, in my view,

89
00:03:54,934 --> 00:03:58,634
is a comprehensive approach and
getting everybody in the deal.

90
00:03:58,633 --> 00:04:02,303
And so what we're going to be
talking about later is how we

91
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:05,470
implement some of these
30-plus recommendations.

92
00:04:05,467 --> 00:04:11,137
But, you know, to state it
very bluntly and obviously,

93
00:04:11,133 --> 00:04:12,733
piracy hurts.

94
00:04:12,734 --> 00:04:15,404
It hurts our economy to
the tune of billions;

95
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,300
some argue tens of billions, of
dollars in lost private-sector

96
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:20,430
profit and government revenue.

97
00:04:20,433 --> 00:04:24,033
It hurts our health and safety,
the health and safety -- that's

98
00:04:24,033 --> 00:04:26,563
why the FDA commissioner
is here, in part.

99
00:04:26,567 --> 00:04:29,167
But we don't usually
think of it this way.

100
00:04:29,166 --> 00:04:32,296
It hurts the health and
safety of our citizens.

101
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:35,030
We need to protect our
citizens from unsafe products,

102
00:04:35,033 --> 00:04:38,903
counterfeit auto parts,
semiconductors used in

103
00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:42,100
medical devices that
aren't quality tested,

104
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:45,570
counterfeit pharmaceuticals
that put lives at risk.

105
00:04:45,567 --> 00:04:49,937
Whether we're talking about fake
drugs that hurt instead of help

106
00:04:49,934 --> 00:04:53,364
a patient, or knock-off car
tires that fall apart at 65

107
00:04:53,367 --> 00:04:57,897
miles an hour, causing injury
and death, counterfeits kill.

108
00:04:57,900 --> 00:04:59,500
Counterfeits kill.

109
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:03,800
There's a reason why that they
counterfeit: They don't know

110
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,730
how to do it in the first place.

111
00:05:05,734 --> 00:05:09,064
And so it -- and also,
to state the obvious,

112
00:05:09,066 --> 00:05:11,296
it stifles creativity.

113
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:14,830
Perhaps our greatest export --
perhaps our greatest export --

114
00:05:14,834 --> 00:05:17,604
is America's creative impulse,
our ability to move people

115
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,800
around the world through
creativity works.

116
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,230
And it's been working and it's
had dramatic impact on cultures.

117
00:05:24,233 --> 00:05:26,463
It's had dramatic
impact on our interests.

118
00:05:26,467 --> 00:05:30,137
And criminals are working
every day -- every day --

119
00:05:30,133 --> 00:05:31,363
to steal it from us.

120
00:05:31,367 --> 00:05:35,267
And again, it's
billions of dollars.

121
00:05:35,266 --> 00:05:41,796
And, look, we used to avoid
saying this in this town:

122
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,200
Piracy is theft,
clean and simple.

123
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,270
It's nothing but theft.

124
00:05:48,266 --> 00:05:51,266
It's smash and grab; no
different than a guy walking

125
00:05:51,266 --> 00:05:54,766
down, you know, Fifth Avenue,
and smashing the window of

126
00:05:54,767 --> 00:05:57,897
Tiffany's and reaching in and
grabbing what's in the window.

127
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:01,100
This is theft, clear and simple.

128
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:04,600
And theft in every culture,
people would acknowledge,

129
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,830
should be punished, and
so intellectual property

130
00:06:08,834 --> 00:06:10,164
is no different.

131
00:06:10,166 --> 00:06:12,566
We need a true
government-wide effort,

132
00:06:12,567 --> 00:06:14,467
and that's what's
being proposed here,

133
00:06:14,467 --> 00:06:17,097
to deal with this
pervasive theft.

134
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:23,900
In December, we met, and I said --

135
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:28,330
the president's instruction
and my long-time commitment and

136
00:06:28,333 --> 00:06:31,403
all of us around here that we
had to crack down on this,

137
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,530
we had to come up with a
government-wide plan and all the

138
00:06:34,533 --> 00:06:37,833
members of the Cabinet had to
take the challenge seriously.

139
00:06:37,834 --> 00:06:40,504
They have, they
are and they will.

140
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:45,400
Customs has made nearly 10,000
seizures -- that's 30-percent

141
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,630
increase compared to last year.

142
00:06:47,633 --> 00:06:50,403
Over the last six months, the
Department of Homeland Security,

143
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,300
Immigration and Customs
Enforcement has -- have been

144
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:56,000
really hard at work,
have made 166 arrests,

145
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,430
seized goods values at --
valued at 350 million bucks.

146
00:07:01,433 --> 00:07:06,963
DHS has also formed a national
network of international

147
00:07:06,967 --> 00:07:10,697
property theft enforcement
teams around the country --

148
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:12,970
they didn't exist
before -- 22 of them.

149
00:07:12,967 --> 00:07:17,697
And they include 70 federal,
state and local law partners

150
00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:22,370
working together to deal with
intellectual property theft.

151
00:07:22,367 --> 00:07:25,137
Look, the Intellectual Property
Rights Center at Homeland

152
00:07:25,133 --> 00:07:29,003
Security is working with the
private sector to target

153
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,670
criminals stealing and posting
their movies on the Internet

154
00:07:33,667 --> 00:07:36,737
before they're even
released in movie theaters.

155
00:07:36,734 --> 00:07:37,464
Hard to believe.

156
00:07:37,467 --> 00:07:40,667
I mean, literally they're
selling this so you can buy some

157
00:07:40,667 --> 00:07:44,167
of these breakthrough movies
on the streets of China before

158
00:07:44,166 --> 00:07:46,566
they're shown in the first
movie theater here in the

159
00:07:46,567 --> 00:07:47,837
United States.

160
00:07:47,834 --> 00:07:49,864
Not just China by the way
-- I'm not picking on China.

161
00:07:49,867 --> 00:07:51,297
There's a lot of
other countries,

162
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:53,500
including some of
our close allies,

163
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:56,270
where they haven't
acted appropriately.

164
00:07:56,266 --> 00:08:00,066
The Department of Justice has
appointed 20 additional FBI

165
00:08:00,066 --> 00:08:03,436
special agents dedicated
to IP enforcement.

166
00:08:03,433 --> 00:08:07,503
These agents joined the 31
agents already deployed to field

167
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:10,400
offices around the country
devoted to investigating

168
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,430
intellectual property theft.

169
00:08:12,433 --> 00:08:18,663
DOJ has appointed another --
appointed 15 new prosecutors to

170
00:08:18,667 --> 00:08:20,837
get engaged in this fight.

171
00:08:20,834 --> 00:08:24,334
And everyone around this table
has taken steps to fight piracy.

172
00:08:24,333 --> 00:08:26,263
But we've got to do more,
and that's what we're

173
00:08:26,266 --> 00:08:26,996
here to discuss.

174
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,500
Again, we have a
clear game plan,

175
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:32,730
and it's about implementing
this game plan.

176
00:08:32,734 --> 00:08:37,934
Today, as we've just
been -- just been stated,

177
00:08:37,934 --> 00:08:41,764
in unveiling this game plan, we
got to figure out now the detail

178
00:08:41,767 --> 00:08:44,067
of how to implement it, even
though everybody was involved

179
00:08:44,066 --> 00:08:45,966
in the formation of this plan.

180
00:08:45,967 --> 00:08:48,437
The strategy is evidenced,
as stated already,

181
00:08:48,433 --> 00:08:53,103
as 33 -- 33 specific items.

182
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:56,270
And I just want to highlight a
few, and then we'll -- I'll end.

183
00:08:56,266 --> 00:08:58,236
Federal law enforcement
is beginning to target

184
00:08:58,233 --> 00:09:03,503
websites and others that are
trafficking in pirated goods.

185
00:09:03,500 --> 00:09:06,770
And we have made sure that
the countries in which these

186
00:09:06,767 --> 00:09:12,667
websites emanate from know that
we want those sites shut down.

187
00:09:12,667 --> 00:09:14,937
Now, the difference here is
we've talked about that before

188
00:09:14,934 --> 00:09:17,734
with the -- we're going
to shine a light now,

189
00:09:17,734 --> 00:09:19,904
that the website is open.

190
00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:23,370
If it's clearly involved in
piracy in a country that's not

191
00:09:23,367 --> 00:09:26,237
taking action, we're going to
be as public as we possibly

192
00:09:26,233 --> 00:09:29,963
can about the fact
they're not acting.

193
00:09:29,967 --> 00:09:31,797
And there needs to be action.

194
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,430
As we shine a spotlight on
foreign governments that have

195
00:09:34,433 --> 00:09:38,733
rogue actors doing illicit
business within their borders,

196
00:09:38,734 --> 00:09:41,764
it's the government's
responsibility to respond.

197
00:09:41,767 --> 00:09:45,067
And we'll be proposing
legislation -- it's in the

198
00:09:45,066 --> 00:09:49,136
process of being drafted now --
to require companies to notify

199
00:09:49,133 --> 00:09:52,663
the FDA when they find
counterfeit products.

200
00:09:52,667 --> 00:09:54,667
Right now that's
not a requirement.

201
00:09:54,667 --> 00:09:57,567
A company -- and there's
incentives not to,

202
00:09:57,567 --> 00:10:01,637
not to let the FDA know, because
they're worried about brand,

203
00:10:01,633 --> 00:10:05,203
they're worried about their
reputations, they're worried.

204
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,000
But they -- we want a
requirement, a requirement,

205
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,070
that the FDA has to be
notified when any company

206
00:10:14,066 --> 00:10:18,096
finds counterfeit products
among their products,

207
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:21,900
and give the FDA the ability
to track those products.

208
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:24,130
We're setting up a
government-wide working group,

209
00:10:24,133 --> 00:10:28,833
to make sure our supply chain is
free of counterfeit products.

210
00:10:28,834 --> 00:10:32,234
Now, look, whether we're talking
about fake Kevlar vests,

211
00:10:32,233 --> 00:10:35,833
and there are fake Kevlar vests
being purchased -- sold and

212
00:10:35,834 --> 00:10:38,404
purchased in the United
States of America,

213
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,370
or a bolt that fails
on an airplane engine,

214
00:10:41,367 --> 00:10:44,597
we can't afford to
purchase fake goods.

215
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,230
This is not just about whether
or not the new "Robin Hood"

216
00:10:47,233 --> 00:10:51,303
movie, which is a
multi-million-dollar theft if

217
00:10:51,300 --> 00:10:54,030
you take a look at it that way
-- it's not just about whether

218
00:10:54,033 --> 00:10:58,203
or not our creative
talent is being affected.

219
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,300
It's about whether or not you
put a Kevlar vest on a guy in

220
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:04,670
Kandahar or a cop in the middle
of one of our major cities --

221
00:11:04,667 --> 00:11:07,237
whether it works.

222
00:11:07,233 --> 00:11:11,863
And so we -- we just want
to make it real clear.

223
00:11:11,867 --> 00:11:13,297
We're going after people.

224
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:15,030
We're going after the websites.

225
00:11:15,033 --> 00:11:20,333
We're going to go after those
folks who in fact sell us things

226
00:11:20,333 --> 00:11:23,063
that in fact have the
effect of putting the

227
00:11:23,066 --> 00:11:25,796
lives of Americans in jeopardy.

228
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,400
The U.S. government also has to
step in -- in place to ensure

229
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,730
that our agencies only
use legal software.

230
00:11:33,734 --> 00:11:35,064
I know that sounds crazy.

231
00:11:35,066 --> 00:11:38,136
But we -- within the
federal government,

232
00:11:38,133 --> 00:11:39,903
we are scrubbing
all the agencies,

233
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:44,130
to make sure whatever software
they're using is not counterfeit

234
00:11:44,133 --> 00:11:46,633
-- to make sure it
is legal, it's real,

235
00:11:46,633 --> 00:11:50,063
it's the initial product,
it's what it says it is.

236
00:11:50,066 --> 00:11:54,036
And we want now to go well
beyond what we're doing,

237
00:11:54,033 --> 00:11:58,703
in each of the agencies, and
anyone who contracts with us to

238
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:02,130
do a federal project, to work
with the federal government --

239
00:12:02,133 --> 00:12:06,903
to ensure that they -- they are
only using the real deal and not

240
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:11,370
a counterfeit, which is
cheaper but also not reliable.

241
00:12:11,367 --> 00:12:15,467
We need to make the private
sector -- we need the private

242
00:12:15,467 --> 00:12:20,397
sector to weigh in even more
to address online theft of

243
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,530
intellectual property.

244
00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:26,233
Counterfeit drugs are a scourge
and our consumers aren't safe,

245
00:12:26,233 --> 00:12:29,433
and they don't know what they're
buying online, many times.

246
00:12:29,433 --> 00:12:33,533
I applaud Google, Yahoo and Bing
for the steps they've taken in

247
00:12:33,533 --> 00:12:36,233
recent weeks to stop
selling advertising to

248
00:12:36,233 --> 00:12:38,433
illegal Internet pharmacies.

249
00:12:38,433 --> 00:12:41,163
But -- but we need
to go further.

250
00:12:41,166 --> 00:12:43,566
It's time for others
to step up to,

251
00:12:43,567 --> 00:12:47,337
it's time to stop supporting ads
for drugs sold illegally over

252
00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:51,833
the Internet, and for a simple
reason: for the public health of

253
00:12:51,834 --> 00:12:54,164
American -- of our population.

254
00:12:54,166 --> 00:12:57,596
And so look, the Internet
delivery companies and movies,

255
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,370
television, recording industries
all tell me that we need to have

256
00:13:01,367 --> 00:13:03,737
a strong and fair effort
in supporting illegal

257
00:13:03,734 --> 00:13:05,504
downloads online.

258
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:08,800
There are discussions going on
right now between the content

259
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,630
community and the Internet
service providers.

260
00:13:11,633 --> 00:13:14,503
Everyone needs to be working
together and pulling their

261
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:18,530
weight to fight the harm that
is done to our economy and our

262
00:13:18,533 --> 00:13:22,103
people by this intellectual
property theft.

263
00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:26,030
And we hope that we can find a
practical and effective way to

264
00:13:26,033 --> 00:13:27,733
reduce piracy online.

265
00:13:27,734 --> 00:13:33,134
But it takes cooperation between
the content community as well as

266
00:13:33,133 --> 00:13:34,803
the Internet service providers.

267
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,000
Not easy, but
absolutely necessary.

268
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,230
Again, there are 33 items in
this report that has been done,

269
00:13:43,233 --> 00:13:49,633
33 specific recommendations,
33 ways we commit ourselves

270
00:13:49,633 --> 00:13:52,733
to deal with this scourge.

271
00:13:52,734 --> 00:13:55,364
And we're making progress.

272
00:13:55,367 --> 00:13:56,937
I've been around a while.

273
00:13:56,934 --> 00:13:57,734
It's good news.

274
00:13:57,734 --> 00:14:02,304
And the AFL-CIO, the Chamber of
Commerce and law enforcement and

275
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:05,370
other diverse groups all
are on the same page.

276
00:14:05,367 --> 00:14:07,897
That is a very
encouraging development.

277
00:14:07,900 --> 00:14:10,200
And now --

278
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,100
(chuckles)

279
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:13,000
-- I'm not joking about that.

280
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,470
And now it's time -- we
-- we have to bear down on

281
00:14:16,467 --> 00:14:18,337
implementing these
recommendations.

282
00:14:18,333 --> 00:14:20,933
That's what, when you all leave,
we're going to be talking about.

283
00:14:20,934 --> 00:14:26,634
And I thank you for taking the
time to help us, quite frankly,

284
00:14:26,633 --> 00:14:30,763
get the word out to the
American public but also to the

285
00:14:30,767 --> 00:14:34,197
counterfeiters that we're
serious about this.

286
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,870
Thank you all very, very much.
