Mr. Jim Breslin:

We are very disappointed by how this issue emerged and the relevant information which was not made apparent to us. The only point I am making is that the national incident management system, NIMS, database runs to hundreds of thousands of incidents, so discretion is required to decide which of those incidents are the signal ones, which are the absolutely most important ones that need to come all the way into a small Department that sits on top of a huge organisation.
