Executive Order 13010 of July 15, 1996
 
 
Critical Infrastructure Protection
 
Certain national infrastructures are so vital that their incapacity or
destruction would have a debilitating impact on the defense or economic
security of the United States. These critical infrastructures include
telecommunications, electrical power systems, gas and oil storage and
transportation, banking and finance, transportation, water supply
systems, emergency services (including medical, police, fire, and
rescue), and continuity of government. Threats to these critical
infrastructures fall into two categories: physical threats to tangible
property (``physical threats''), and threats of electronic,
radio-frequency, or computer-based attacks on the information or
communications components that control critical infrastructures (``cyber
threats''). Because many of these critical infrastructures are owned and
operated by the private sector, it is essential that the government and
private sector work together to develop a strategy for protecting them
and assuring their continued operation.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby
ordered as follows:
 
Section 1. Establishment. There is hereby established the President's
Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection (``Commission'').
 
    (a) Chair. A qualified individual from outside the Federal
Government shall be appointed by the President to serve as Chair of the
Commission. The Commission Chair shall be employed on a full-time basis.
 
    (b) Members. The head of each of the following executive branch
departments and agencies shall nominate not more than two full-time
members of the Commission:
 
    (i)    Department of the Treasury;
    (ii)   Department of Justice;
    (iii)  Department of Defense;
    (iv)   Department of Commerce;
    (v)    Department of Transportation;
    (vi)   Department of Energy;
    (vii)  Central Intelligence Agency;
    (viii) Federal Emergency Management Agency;
    (ix)   Federal Bureau of Investigation;
    (x)    National Security Agency.
 
One of the nominees of each agency may be an individual from outside the
Federal Government who shall be employed by the agency on a full-time
basis. Each nominee must be approved by the Steering Committee.
 
Sec. 2. The Principals Committee. The Commission shall report to the
President through a Principals Committee (``Principals Committee''),
which shall review any reports or recommendations before submission to
the President. The Principals Committee shall comprise the:
 
    (i) Secretary of the Treasury;
    (ii) Secretary of Defense;
