Also, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy has released the committee's completed questionnaire for David Kappos, which reportedly has some interesting information, according to Tech Daily Dose:

Kappos details his background, professional affiliations and pro bono work as well as his financials. According to the form, he owns vested IBM options valued at approximately $147,000 and those options would be sold within 90 days of his appointment as the PTO's top dog. He also owns unvested IBM options and restricted stock valued at about $1.5 million. All of that deferred income would
be cancelled upon his resignation from IBM. On a more personal note, Kappos owns
property in Tenants Harbor, Maine originally valued at $100,000.

This, and hundreds of other pages of information are available on the committee's Web site here.
