n a move applauded by government officials, the Bush administration last week announced plans to establish a central office to coordinate the government's response to cybersecurity attacks. The center will be modeled on the Year 2000 Information Coordination Center (ICC), which coordinated the government's response on and around the Year 2000 date change, said Richard Clarke, President Bush's cyberspace security adviser, speaking to Congress Feb. 13.

Clarke oversees federal cybersecurity policy, including the interagency Critical Infrastructure Protection Board set up by executive order in October 2001.
