    Statement on the Identity Theft Task Force Report
    April 23, 2007

        I commend Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission Deborah
    Majoras for their work on the Identity
    Theft Task Force report released today. The report is the culmination of
    many months of hard work by numerous Federal Agencies. Identity theft is
    a serious problem in America, and my administration is working to combat
    this crime and to assist its victims. I thank the Attorney General, the
    Chairman, and their staffs for taking on this difficult and important
    assignment.
