If I read correctly in one of the latest NIPC reports, there is contention as to whether a "National" threat level is mandatory or advisory upon state governments. If you notice, when Ridge issues a change to our national threat level, a separate report comes from the state of Oregon, which happens to match the threat level. HOWEVER, in this most recent threat level change, Hawaii stated they would be at threat level Blue(?) (one away from "all clear"). Guess it's time to go to Hawaii. :-) Jimmy -----Original Message----- From: Dorning, Kevin E - DI-3 [mailto:kedorning@private] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 10:57 AM To: 'Mark Allyn'; Jacob Redding Cc: T.

I can assure you that most of us who are in the process are taking a reasoned approach to the problem. there is no value to closing down transportation and business/commerce if there is no credible threat to the area they are in. Most of us favor and will use an approach that calls for an evaluation of the specific threat, and action that applies to that threat. General threats with no specific information, are not of much use to us.

'Constraining' of transportation systems' gets me nervious. Does this mean that we can't leave our homes to walk down a public street to go to the corner store? Would this mean that I have to shut down my online business? Where are the detailed guidelines for this? Thank you Mark Allyn allyn@private 503-281-6150
