We raised questions in October 1997 (Bt.-Drs 13/8835) and this year (No 8/223, Aug. 24th 98) concerning nuclear facilities. The effect of last year's questions at least were more intense activities by the German Bundesamt fuer Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (comparable to something between NSA and NIST). To be true, these are still dangerously uncomparable to other countries by far.

I have no trouble with that

Since I am not a member of Parliament in the next period and can only
follow the course of action from the outside, it is up to You, if You
still feel it useful to keep me on a mailing list of Yours.

sincerly
