                              document, while crucial to interoperability, will need to be supplemented with
                              standards that are specific to cross-jurisdictional use.
                                 The Internet, a public network, is not a viable transmission medium for most
                              law enforcement agencies at this time due to security restrictions. The Inter-
                              net, however, may be useful for non-law enforcement use, e.g., interstate welfare
                              enrollment checks. The secure NLETS network is a more appropriate trans-
                              mission medium for law enforcement.
                                 There seems to be a strong interest at all levels for this effort, from the
                              vendors’ users group members, the vendors, and law enforcement. The IAI-
                              AFIS Committee would like to see this effort continue.
                                 Most of all, the IAI wishes to thank all who participated in this volunteer
                              effort–law enforcement, vendors, independent consultants, the FBI, NLETS
                              and NIST, all of who committed valuable resources to an unfunded effort. The
                              IAI-AFIS Committee is especially grateful to the vendors who stayed for the
                              duration and displayed teamwork, dedication to our vision and commitment to
                              support local and state law enforcement.
