U.S. Drafting Plan for Computer Monitoring System

By JOHN MARKOFF
The Clinton Administration has developed a plan for an extensive
computer monitoring system, overseen by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, to protect the nation's crucial data networks from
intruders. 

The plan, an outgrowth of the Administration's anti-terrorism program,
has already raised concerns from civil liberties groups. 

A draft prepared by officials at the National Security Council last
month, which was provided to The New York Times by a civil liberties
group, calls for a sophisticated software system to monitor activities
on nonmilitary Government networks and a separate system to track
networks used in crucial industries like banking, telecommunications
and transportation.
