		The Rule 16 Subcommittee also met by telephone conference call on March 8, 2010. During the call, the Subcommittee commented on and revised questions contained in a draft survey designed by the Federal Judicial Center and also discussed ongoing efforts at the Department of Justice to better address the discovery obligations of prosecutors. Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer offered an update on the Department's efforts. He said that the Deputy Attorney General had issued new guidelines and 5,000 federal prosecutors had completed training courses on how to meet their disclosure obligations. General Breuer further noted that the Department was in the process of developing training curricula and creating a deskbook to provide guidance to prosecutors. General Breuer said that he has traveled around the country and spoken to many dedicated federal prosecutors who expressed a sincere desire to 'do the right thing' in meeting their disclosure obligations.
