Subject: E-d-u-p-a-g-e 03/29/94 INTERNET STILL VULNERABLE Testimony at a House Subcommittee on Science indicates that threats to Internet security should be viewed as on-going rather than isolated events.

I was at the hearings, and both Vint and Steve Crocker from TIS were clear that the U.S. Gov't needed to lighten up, or we'd take it in the pants from a competitive perspective, amongst other things. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a iQCVAgUBLZm/gNpAw4w47a4DAQGVrAQAwJ+cg5IlSYacifZvyARcwQKnqaFkEmeo ozQJ2ttx7dgrS/RTwJsHeNYMZpYzq74fK3rIwRoqSCTK3xxWVByrHd7i9YXwC8xl EoYh/YWZZfsd+M1b5ZxVzkFZVSfH60zNMpRP8nTvi6/KB25pU/sISrRJTzkkHiGv FuQORzaD33E= =2cIK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
