At its March, 1997 meeting, the Board agreed to examine issues
involving the Computer Security Act of 1987 and whether to make
recommendations to the Secretary of Commerce and the Director of NIST
regarding the Act and improving the security and privacy of Federal
systems. The Board is interested in hearing a wide variety of
perspectives on the effectiveness of the Act, as input to its
deliberations on what changes or modifications to recommend. The Board
believes this to be appropriate given the advances in information
technology over the past decade and the age of the Act. Public input
regarding the Act is therefore particularly encouraged.
