Remarks given by Congressman Jack Brooks at the Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturers Association's Spring Meeting in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Brooks is honored by the association. He expresses hopes that computer technology can be used for real social improvement. He says "through better communication and information" society can "learn to live together more peacefully." He also claims that although the Bureau of Standards is "doing some very impressive work in the area of security, and maintaining the integrity of computer programs," it will continue to become more demanding in the future. He warns "It is not only computers that can be used for good or evil. The temptation to make one's fortune in this world through illegitimate tampering with computers and computer programs will be too much to resist." He urges cooperation with the Bureau of standards to minimize those issues.

Description
-
A Congressional press release noting that the world has entered the Information Age, a similar rapid development in technology as experienced with the Industrial Revolution. The announcement discusses the Computer Security Act of 1987, which authorized the National Bureau of Standards to establish programs to improve computer security practices throughout the federal government, and warns that the expansion of military influence on society, and implementation of various forms of censorship is dangerous and control must be kept within civilian control.
