    FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN March 11, 2020 The Honorable Carolyn B. Maloney Chairwoman Committee on Oversight and Government Reform U.S. House of Representatives 2157 Raybum House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairwoman Maloney: In response to a May 2017 incident in which a surge in comments caused disruption to the Commission’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECF$), GAO was asked to review both (1) the actions that the Commission took in response to the May 2017 event, and (2) the extent to which the FCC has implemented security controls to effectively protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ECFS and two related FCC systems. As a result of that investigation, on September 26, 2019, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a limited official-use only (LOUO) report entitled FCC Improved Its Electronic Comment System, but Needs to Remedy Additional Control Weaknesses, GAO 19-247 SU (Report).” During the course of its review, GAO shared with the Commission a draft of its Report, which identified a number of issues with the Commission’s information security program and made 136 recommendations for correcting those issues. In a September 13, 2019, response to this draft report, the FCC Managing Director concurred with GAO’s recommendations, noted that the Commission submitted evidence to GAO that we had mitigated 83 of those recommendations, and explained the Commission’s timeline for addressing the remaining 53 recommendations. Based on the FCC’s response and subsequent actions taken in response to the draft report, the GAO has closed 85 of its 136 recommendations as having been addressed by the agency.

  • We Were All Saddened by the Recent Passing of Mario Cuomo, 3-Term Governor of New York State
    Jeremy Travis President Haaren Hall 524 West 59th Street, Room 625 New York City, NY 10019 T. 212.237.8600 F. 212.237.8607 [email protected] January 29, 2015 To the Members of the John Jay College Community: We were all saddened by the recent passing of Mario Cuomo, 3-term governor of New York State. Born to immigrant parents, Mario Cuomo achieved greatness through hard work and education, and dedicated his life to public service. He was a statesman, an eloquent communicator, a policy and political trailblazer and a passionate advocate for social justice, a true role model for our students. Governor Mario Cuomo led by example. While many tributes of the former governor reference his national speeches in 1984, and his opposition to the death penalty, he leaves a much larger or significant legacy especially for the John Jay community. Through Governor Mario Cuomo’s enterprise and leadership, Haaren High School (originally the De Witt Clinton High School) was acquired, under a special financing arrangement, and renovated for John Jay College. The project started in summer 1986 and was completed in September 1988, in time for the start of classes. The Governor visited John Jay and met with then-President Gerald Lynch and members of the John Jay and CUNY community to celebrate this accomplishment. The opening of this new building boosted the morale of the John Jay community and the profile of the College. Haaren Hall signaled the beginning of the transformation of our academic institution. And it laid the foundation for our newest, state-of-the art building in 2011 that now anchors our campus.
