INTERVIEW OF THE PRESIDENT BY TOM BROKAW OF MSNBC The Roosevelt Room, July 15, 1996 MR. BROKAW: .... You and I have been looking at another question from the Internet: Does Chelsea net surf and, if so, how do you protect her from inappropriate material? Does she use the computer pretty handily? THE PRESIDENT: She does. I don't think she net surfs a lot, simply because, at least during the school year, she has too much homework at night, for several hours every night. But she does some. And, honestly, I can't protect her in that sense because she knows so much more about it than I do. But one of the things that we're trying to do -- I think with the support of everyone -- is, first of all, get a case up to the Supreme Court so that they can define what the First Amendment requires us to do and not to do in terms of legislation here. And then we need to find some sort of technological fix. During the break you said that Mr. Gates, Bill Gates, said that there's at least a possibility of developing a log -- MR. BROKAW: Yes, they've got a log built in now that you can go in and check on. THE PRESIDENT: Yes, so the parents can see what's been called up. And, of course, we're working on this V-chip with television and with the entertainment industry supporting us with the rating system. So there probably will be some sort of technological responses here. But then parents like me are going to have to assume the responsibility of becoming literate enough with the technology to work with our children and make sure that we and they make responsible choices.
