WHITE HOUSE PROPOSES MASSIVE COMPUTER MONITORING SYSTEM; WILL
TRACK BANKING, TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND OTHER NETWORKS

The Clinton administration has developed a plan for an extensive
computer monitoring system, overseen by the FBI, that will track
banking, telecommunications and other industries, it will be
reported on Wednesday.

The National Security Council is conducting a legal and technical
review of the new Clinton plan, a final report is scheduled to be
made public in September.

NEW YORK TIMES reporter John Markoff has been shown a draft,
according to publishing sources, and was busy on Tuesday
afternoon preparing a story.

In some government circles, the proposed system has been
nicknamed "Hillary."

The plan calls for the development of a "sophisticated software
system to monitor activities on non-military government networks"
and a separate system to "track all transactions used in the
banking, telecommunications and transportation industries."

The system is intended to alert law enforcement officials to
computer attacks that might cripple governmental or the nation's
economy. But it could also become a massive government utility
used for surveillance of citizens, critics contend, with great
potential for misuse.

"Law enforcement agencies obviously would be under great
temptation to expand the use of the information in pursuit of
suspected criminals," the TIMES will report.

The plan has drawn fire from civil libertarians because it blends
"civilian and military functions" in protecting the nation's
computer networks. Law enforcement agencies would be under great
temptation to expand the use of the information in pursuit of
suspected criminals. And the plan would put a new and powerful
tool into the hands of the FBI.

Developing.
