Subject: Richard Clarke, February 18 306 SODA HALL (ROOM CHANGE)

You are invited to a talk given by Richard Clarke, the President's
Special Adviser for Cyberspace Security  at 4:00 pm in 306 Soda Hall on
February 18, 2001. Note that this Presidents' Day.  Soda Hall will be
open for this event. Richard Clarke will discuss national policy
concerning critical infrastructure protection.

The following is from a press release found at ABCNEWS.com

(http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/DailyNews/bush_advisors_clarke.html
)


Richard A. Clarke is George W. Bush's Special Adviser for Cyberspace
Security within the National Security Council.  He is charged with
protecting the nation's telecommunications and information technology
infrastructure against a terrorist attack.

Experts have warned that hackers and terrorists could try and cripple
systems ? computer networks that monitor a city's water supply or air
traffic, for example ? to create further chaos. Should such a crisis
take place in cyberspace, Clarke would coordinate efforts with the
private and commercial sectors to bring the affected systems back to
normal. 

Similar to his previous position as National Coordinator for Security,
Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism, Clarke is part of the
president's National Security Council. He reports to both National
Security Advisory Condoleezza Rice and newly appointed Homeland Security
Director Tom Ridge.
