The Markle Foundation works to realize the potential of information technology to address previously intractable public problems, for the health and security of all Americans. In pursuit of its mission, Markle collaborates with innovators and thought leaders from the public and private sectors whose expertise lies in the areas of information technology, privacy, civil liberties, health, national security, and economic security. This collaboration has enabled Markle to offer comprehensive recommendations to the highest levels of government, many of which have passed into law through acts of Congress and by executive order, and to the private sector.

Famous quotes containing the word foundation:
“Beautiful credit! The foundation of modern society. Who shall say that this is not the golden age of mutual trust, of unlimited reliance upon human promises? That is a peculiar condition of society which enables a whole nation to instantly recognize point and meaning in the familiar newspaper anecdote, which puts into the mouth of a distinguished speculator in lands and mines this remark:M”I wasn’t worth a cent two years ago, and now I owe two millions of dollars.””
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
