The President's Commission on
Critical Infrastructure Protection is requesting
information regarding technologies and capabilities for
protecting critical infrastructures vital to our nation's
economic and national security. Of particular concern are
physical and cyber threats. Eight critical
infrastructures have been identified:
telecommunications
electrical power systems
gas and oil storage and
transportation
banking and finance
transportation
water supply
systems
emergency services
continuity of government
services
The Commission has retained the
Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory to act
on its behalf in soliciting and collecting this
information.
The Commission designed a survey
template to facilitate this critical infrastructure data
collection effort. The survey template can be requested
via e-mail at formpccip@anl.gov, or downloaded from http://www.dis.anl.gov/survey. Responses must be received no later than
May 30, 1997, to guarantee inclusion in the Commission's
report.
Taking time to provide information
may increase organizational visibility, not only with the
Commission, but also with government agencies and
private-sector entities needing infrastructure protection
technologies and capabilities. Responses will be entered
into a database and made available to the government and
private sector. The Commission will use the information
to help
formulate critical
infrastructure protection strategies
develop recommendations for
research and development programs to address
technology shortfalls.
For more information on this
critical infrastructure protection technologies and
capabilities data collection or the Commission, please
contact Mr. Jerry Gillette at 630/252-7475 or
jgillette@anl.gov.
