industry and DoD officials, were formed to make recommendations in the
areas of:
 | Incentives for Adoption of Electronic Business | Information Security for Electronic Business | Performance Measures for Electronic Business | Software Quality and Interoperability for Electronic Business.

and reported to the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Rudy Deleon, on June
20, 2000 at the Pentagon. The groups will present their findings and
recommendations to the public at E-GOV 2000 on Tuesday, July 11, 2000
