From Senator Bob Bennett's opening statement: "The 'I Love You' virus demonstrates several weaknesses in our government's ability to detect and respond to fast moving cyber events in a coordinated and efficient manner. I have been asking the questions for sometime now about what happens when our borders disappear. What does it mean to function in a borderless economy? The Virus illustrates that global boundaries are disappearing for commerce; oceans still separate one federal agency from another. The 'I Love You' virus should occasion a careful review of ou[r] national capabilities. It is important that these weaknesses be addressed now in order to reduce future risks. Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Subcommittee Chairman, Bob Bennett; Jack Brock, Director of Government and Defense Information System, General Accounting Office; Gregory Baer, Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions, Department of Treasury; Stephen Malphrus, Staff Director for Management, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and James Adams, CEO, iDefense.
