S. 982 is "the other bill" introduced recently in the Senate, the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act of 1995 (introduced by Sens. Kyl, Leahy and Grassley). Since it has bipartisan support plus the support of the Attorney General I thought it might be a good idea to see what it really does. I've made available via WWW the following documents: The text of S. 982: The National Information Infrastructure Protection Act of 1995; The text of 18 USC 1030 as it is currently; The text of 18 USC 1030 as modified by S. 982; Sen. Kyl's statement introducing S. 982; Sen. Leahy's statement introducing S. 982; A section-by-section analysis of S. 982 provided by Sens. Kyl and Leahy; All are available from my "Legal Issues" page at: http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/legal/ The "text of 18 USC 1030 as modified by S. 982" is perhaps the most interesting, since it shows both text removed by the bill (in italics) and text added by the bill (in boldface). --bal
