White House weighs Internet monitoring center safeguards
The White House proposes an Internet wide monitoring center to detect cyber attacks while officials seek to ease fears of broad government eavesdropping on citizens.

Tough job described for Senate majority leaders
AP notes from Washington that former majority leaders describe the role as very difficult. Howard Baker compares it to pushing a wet noodle while Robert Byrd calls the position a slave labor of sorts, reflecting the power and chaos within a chamber run by seniority, deals, and informal White House liaison. Trent Lott says he will resign his leadership post after winning the job in 1996 by acclamation when Bob Dole left the Senate to run for president.
