thefilmarchive.org The 1994 State of the Union address was given by President Bill Clinton to a joint session of the 103rd United States Congress on January 25, 1994. The speech was Clinton's first official State of the Union address, although he had similarly addressed a joint session of Congress a year prior shortly after taking office. The president discussed the federal budget deficit, taxes, defense spending, crime, foreign affairs, education, the economy, free trade, the role of government, campaign finance reform, welfare reform, and promoting the Clinton health care plan. President Clinton threatened to veto any legislation that did not guarantee every American private health insurance. He proposed for policies to fight crime: a three strikes law for repeat violent offenders; 100000 more police officers on the streets; expand gun control to further prevent criminals from being armed and ban assault weapons; additional support for drug treatment and education. The president began the speech with an acknowledgment of former Speaker Tip O'Neill, who died on January 5, 1994. While discussing additional community policing, the president honored Kevin Jett, a New York City cop attending the address who had been featured in a New York Times story in December 1993. The speech lasted 63 minutes and consisted of 7432 words. It was the longest State of the Union speech since Lyndon B. Johnson's 1967 State of the Union Address.

The Norwegian military stated on May 19 that it had been the victim of a serious cyber attack that took place in the end of March, a day after Norwegian F-16 fighter jets for the first time carried out bombings in Libya.
"The army is regularly the target of cyber and virus attacks, but not as extensive as this," Hilde Lindboe, a spokeswoman for Norwegian Defence Information Infrastructure (INI), told AFP.
On March 25, a day after Norwegian F-16s first took part in the NATO-led bombing in Libya, around 100 military employees, some of them high-ranking, received an email in Norwegian with an attachment that, once opened, let loose a virus that was created to extract information from the host computer. It was reported that the e-mail was written in "good" Norwegian, and that the sender apparently was a senior adviser to the military.
The e-mail was not official, and the file attached to it was a virus that could have paved the way for hackers' access to the armed forces' computer system, wrote VG.
"The attackers didn't succeed with further infiltration," claimed Major General Roar Sundseth, adding that they also failed to obtain classified information before the attack was discovered.
"The defense systems are attacked daily, but it's not often we see such a comprehensive attempt at infiltration as this was," Sundseth told newspaper VG. "The trend is increasing, though, and the attackers are more goal-oriented."
Defense officials claimed that they don't know who or what was behind the attack, or whether it was directly related to the Libyan military intervention in which Norway has been taking part.
"We see this as a targeted cyber attack against the armed forces. The attempt came shortly after the decision to send Norwegian troops to the operation in Libya," said Maj. Ivar Kjærem, Section Chief of the Armed Forces Center for protection of critical information (FSKI). "We haven't seen such an attack so close to conflicts Norway has been involved in earlier, but we can't say there's a connection."
The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) has opened an investigation to determine who launched the attack, but authorities say it is too soon to say whether there was a link to the Libya bombings.
Norway has six F-16s stationed on the Greek island of Crete as part of the NATO campaign against leader Moammar Gadhafi's forces, authorized by U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 to protect the Libyan population. The Scandinavian country, however, has said it plans to curb its military role in Libya if the campaign lasts longer than June 24.
The Military's ability to detect and defend their network system against cyber attacks is crucial to defence and national security, so important in fact that it was elevated to a critical threat alongside issues such as terrorism and international military crises. They need to implement robust information security initiatives, including having a proficiently skilled IT security workforce in the military, in order to avoid cyber attacks and security breaches. Those IT security professionals should constantly increase their information security knowledge and skills by embarking on advanced and highly technical training programs.
EC-Council has launched the Center of Advanced Security Training (CAST) to address the deficiency of technically proficient information security professionals. CAST will provide advanced technical security training covering topics such as advanced penetration testing training, Digital Mobile Forensics, Cryptography, Advanced Network Defense, and advanced application security training, among others. These highly sought after and lab-intensive Information Security training courses will be offered at all EC-Council-hosted conferences and events, and through specially selected authorized training centres.
