Because a truism in Information Technology, which goes all the way back to the ibm main frames and bell labs worked with the government in world war ii is the first user of Information Technology and most advanced user of Information Technology is going to be the defense establishment in the u. S. Government. And i use defense in the broadest term. Im talking about anything associated with defense. So theyre first guys in, and when we build qwest, or as we went public with what we were building, before we had laid more than a thousand miles of cable, we did 26,000 in the u. S. We were already engaged or approached to participate. So what was the you were asked to chair this committee called the Network Reliability and interoperability council. Explain what that really was trying to accomplish. There was really two federal advisory committees of substance for the Technology Industry.

Bothersome debate. And maybe its a symptom of why so Many Americans are kind of put off by the war. Why do you argue about stuff like that . But lets look at those names in a different way.
