If y'all have heard, Clinton signed an executive order 2 days ago creating a new panel to examine how to "protect" "critical" computer systems. The panel will be made of of the usual suspects with a non-govt person ($5.00 says it will be someone from one of those wonderfully independant companies like SAIC, MITRETEC, EDS, E-Systems). Needless to say, it looks an awful lot like NSDD-145 all over again with the panel recommending changes to the law to allo for greater coordination of LE, intell for govt computers and god knows what for non-govt computers. Anyway, the directive is now up on our site at http://www.epic.org/security/infowar/eo_cip.html -dave _________________________________________________________________________ Subject: New Infowarfare Panel _________________________________________________________________________ David Banisar (Banisar@epic.org) * 202-544-9240 (tel) Electronic Privacy Information Center * 202-547-5482 (fax) 666 Pennsylvania Ave, SE, Suite 301 * HTTP://www.epic.org Washington, DC 20003 * ftp/gopher/wais cpsr.org
