That is a letter from a US Senator requiring the CIO of the US DOD to provide him with progress on the deployment of TLS and enforcing with HSTS. In the UK, the Home Secretary (who really ought to know better) once memorably wittered on about "hashtags" (1). I suggest that Ron Wyden off of Oregon is either or both of well informed and knowledgeable in IT matters.

Wyden is the most knowledgeable legislator we have when it comes to technology. Here's him explaining Net Neutrality [1] and urging a 'no' vote [2] on Ajit Pai's FCC nomination. Here's a letter [3] from him a year ago urging the importance of two-factor authentication.

Wyden just generally seems to be a reasonable guy that wants to do the right thing and spends time to understand issues. His tech initiatives usually make sense and years ago he also introduced something about health care which also made sense. He is the kind of legislator we should want in Congress.

Senator Wyden is extremely well regarded within the US with regards to technology. If you haven't seen it, he's in the documentary for Aaron Swartz. Here are his words about the death of Aaron: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Senator_Wyden_Remarks_at_Aaron_Swartz_Memorial https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Senator_Wyden_Remarks_at_Aaro...
