ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (March 27, 2009)--The ranking members of two congressional committees have sent a letter to the National Nuclear Security Administration, demanding answers about the theft of three computers from the home a Los Alamos National Laboratory employee.
U.S. Reps. Joe Barton, R-Texas, and Greg Walden, R-Ore., say the incident raises questions about whether the northern New Mexico nuclear weapons lab has fixed gaps in its cyber security monitoring and oversight procedures.
The letter sent Friday to NNSA head Thomas D'Agostino asks for details about whether lost property protocols were followed, how many people are dedicated to monitoring cyber security at the lab and how many employees have more than one government computer at home.
Barton and Walden have requested that the information be provided within one month.
