Fed Agencies Asleep at the Wheel
It has been more than 4 years since the Clinton administration ordered the
Departments of Energy, Commerce, and Health and Human Services as well as
the Environmental Protection Agency to come up with a list of their
critical assets that must be protected under any circumstances. Not one of
these agencies have yet delivered, according to the General Accounting
Office in a report released this week. Nor do any of the agencies have a
plan for keeping their critical assets safe. The idea behind the Clinton
directive was that the departments clearly can't protect all their assets
equally. So they should concentrate their resources on the areas that
matter most. The report concluded that, ""It could take years for these
agencies to complete their analyses for all critical assets at their
current pace."
