  VIDEO: The NSA Surveillance Programs: Assessing The Damage to U.S. Commerce, Confidence & Credibility @NetCaucusAC #ICACNSA 

  On July 18 2014 the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee (ICAC) hosted a panel The NSA Surveillance Programs: Assessing The Damage to U.S. Commerce, Confidence & Credibility. It has been one year since the sweeping NSA surveillance programs were revealed by controversial leaker Edward Snowden. As Congress considers reforming these programs we need to also assess the impact that this controversy has had on U.S. commercial interests, on our confidence in our leaders, and on U.S. credibility both globally and domestically. The revelations could not have come at a worse time for the U.S. tech industry, which was poised to lead the worldwide market in cloud computing. And many accounts indicate that other tech sectors are feeling the impact of the controversy when approaching international markets. Can we quantify the impact on American business? Have the revelations also impacted the confidence and credibility of the U.S. government? Some world leaders — whose own phones had been accessed — have expressed unfeigned outrage about the scope of surveillance. Our panel will discuss these issues and try to quantify the impact against some benchmarks. Speakers: Stewart Baker, Partner, Steptoe & Johnson LLP (former NSA General Counsel); Kevin Bankston, Policy Director, Open Technology Institute, New America Foundation; Chris Hopfensperger, Director, Policy, BSA | The Software Alliance; Shane Tews, Visiting Fellow, American Enterprise Institute (moderator). Video/audio is below. Closed captions are available.
