I have no idea where to post this, so I thought I would bounce this off the peanut gallery :) I decided to express some of my concerns about our government's computer security to our representatives. After some searching, I found the "SUBCOMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT, INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY" at http://www.house.gov/reform/gmit/index.htm. The committee is chaired by Congressmen Stephen Horn, who recently released the committee's first report on computer security. I went to Mr. Horn's website to obtain his email address, http://www.house.gov/horn/. I found the address, but how he uses email concerns me. Remeber, this is one of the lead congressmen involved in the USA's Information Technology. "Send e-mail to steve.horn () mail house gov. Please include your full name and postal address, including ZIP code, since I respond by U.S. mail. Thank you." What can one imply from this .... ? If this it totally off base, please excuse my wandering ways. -- Lance Spitzner http://project.honeynet.org _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://www.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
