development phase," Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said on Wednesday. "Once 
completed, it will support 100 to 200 permanent high-paid employees."

aggregating and verifying dizzying volumes of data for the intelligence

community.

A White House document identifies the Comprehensive National 
Cyber-security Initiative as addressing "one of the most serious 
economic and national security challenges we face as a nation, but one

countermeasures to the security threat.
