    Folks,
    
     Jason Doahn, and David Sohn, members of Senator Wyden's staff, will come to
    our meeting to proffer their bill on a Net Guard, embodied under draft
    Senate legislation known as the National Emergency Technology Guard Act.
    
    The purpose of Senator Wyden's draft National Emergency Technology Guard Act
    is to establish an organizational structure to facilitate the effective
    mobilization of America's extensive capability in technology and science in
    responding to the threats posed by terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and
    other major emergencies.  Major provisions of the bill would create (1)
    teams of volunteers with technology and science expertise, organized in
    advance and available to be mobilized on short notice, similar to Urban
    Search and Rescue Teams and Medical Response Teams; (2) a ''virtual
    technology reserve'' consisting of a database of private-sector equipment
    and expertise that officials may call upon in an emergency; (3) a national
    clearinghouse and test bed for innovative technologies relating to emergency
    prevention and response; and (4) seven state pilot projects for the planning
    or implementation of interoperable communications systems for first
    responders.
    
    Many of you have voiced intense interest in this concept, which Sen. Wyden
    brought forth in the wake of the tragedies and lessons of 911.  This will
    afford an unparalleled opportunity to participate in the formulation of this
    potentially landmark legislation.
    
    Meeting is on Tuesday, 12 February, at 10 AM at Verizon Airtouch (Take I-5
    South to Carmen Drive. The building is on the West side [Tigard side] of the
    Freeway). The meeting room is in the back of the building. The street
    address is 15575 Sequoia Pkwy, Tigard
