WASHINGTON (AP) -- -- The government has recovered the stolen laptop computer
containing sensitive data for up to 26.5 million veterans and military
personnel, Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson announced Thursday.
Nicholson also said there have been no reports of identity theft since the May 3
burglary at the Maryland home of an agency employee.
"There is reason to be optimistic," he told reporters just before the start of
another in a series of hearings Congress has had on one of the worst breaches of
information security.
"It's a very positive note in this very tragic incident," Nicholson said.
