past year Mr. Clinton has served as the private sector coordinator

Security Working Group was established by Congressman Adam Putnam,

to the Congress which would
encourage better corporate security without federal mandates.
The CISWG made its final report to
Chairman Putnam earlier this month.

(USTA) for 12 years, including the last six as a Vice President.
In this capacity Mr. Clinton was
responsible for coordinating federal legislative and regulatory
issues affecting the Association's
largest members (the "RBOCs"), including telecommunications
policy, security and intellectual property.
Before
working for USTA, Mr. Clinton was a Legislative Director for
six years in the House of Representatives
and consulted for a variety of industries including banking,
media, health care, and the federal government.
Mr. Clinton holds a Master's degree in Political Communications
from the University of Maryland and has
