To The Congress of the United States:

On behalf of the Commission on Online Child Protection, I am pleased to transmit to Congress the Commission's final Report reflecting its study of technologies and methods designed to reduce access by minors to harmful to minors material on the Internet. This Report fulfills the Commission's statutory mandate to report the results of its study no later than October 21, 2000.

I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the outstanding efforts of eighteen Commissioners who devoted their time and energies to thoughtful consideration of the questions presented to the Commission by Congress. I am proud to have served in the company of such a distinguished group, and I commend the dedication and collegiality of the Commissioners.

Sincerely,

-signed-
