Good point, Karl. If we're gonna keep spending all this time and effort chasing Sadam's shadow, I would suspect that they are also keeping real life issues in the forefront of security planning. Hey, what's the risk of TPRO being nationalized? gggg. K

I can only hope Saddam can't get SI, Jan 1 00 could be a great surprise package for him;)I picked this problem up researcing an Australian pipleline under construction and how it was going to be controled and meshed with the connecting lines. It is a sad fact that many European Governments are so far behind (the" Uncle Bill will have a fix soon" mentality),I wonder how the third world is going to pay for all this?? Great US House hearings on C-span last night and repeted today. PS I used feet I hope you know I mean miles and miles and miles... connection after connection after valve... all in a sequential timeing and date enviroment controled via satellite! Larry

Karl, < I wonder if it is yet a matter of national (US, that is) policy that Saudi pumps and pipelines be kept working.> Surely you jest. *To keep things working for the next few years, we NEED a Y2K policy ... with backbone.* We have none. And, what party do we blame? Democrats or Republicans? We DON'T want the federal government involved, do we? We can do it better on our own. Right!!?? I'm sick and tired of partisian politics. We have a MASSIVE problem. We need a FIX. FAST. I don't care who does it. But, we all know how fast wheels turn ... don't we? ================================================================== HERE'S SOMETHING TO FRIGHTEN PEOPLE - This was passed during Gerald Ford's term of office. The President does NOT need the approval of Congress to invoke this order. The Executive Order can be put into effect upon the declaration of the President "...in any national emergency type situation that might conceivably confront the nation." ================================================================== Executive Order #11490: Assigning Emergency Preparedness Functions to Federal Departments and Agencies (As Recommended) This largely and unknown, and little understood document, gives the federal government a long list of really eye-popping powers to take over just about all aspects of American Life. In essence, it woud make Bill Clinton the dictator of the United States. Here are some of the stops he could take: - Ration food and fuel - Control wages, prices and rents - Prevent transfers of money - Seize gold, siver and stored food - Take control of all radio and television stations - Confiscate all personal radio transmitters (CB's, cellular phones, etc.) - Take over all facilities producing electricity, water and petroleum products - Close all stock exchanges and freeze the price of all securities Maybe he doesn't have to do anything with the stock market - SEC already talked about a "2 day holiday", an independent research study anticipates the stock exchange being closed 3 weeks; a study in UK anticipates their stock market being closed a month). What about Mexico? HA HA What about Hong Kong & the rest of the far east? HA HA What about the 3rd World nations???? Sorry to be digressing on the TPRO thread. I'll be moving this elsewhere. Cheryl P.S. TPRO's still my "ace in the hole". Executive Order #11490 info provided by Jim Lord You should REALLY get his book.
