another amBushing shot, quite unnoticed - librarian - 07-24-2007 Heiho, could as well have posted it into the other thread, but maybe directing that one back to Bush's salubrious crusader tendencies would spoil the discussion there ;-) http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/20...0070509-12.html Quote:"Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions. See also Congress and Homeland Security Commitee member Peter DiFazio's analysis http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/i...8910.xml&coll=7 In germany, quite some time ago, a very similar act was called 'Ermaechtigungsgesetz'.
