From: [Redacted email] Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2021 6:30 PM To: ElectricSystemEO Subject: [EXTERNAL] Critical US Systems must be made in the US Our electrical grid, pipelines and other systems in the United States are critical to our safety and operations. We must ensure these are not vulnerable to enemy attack. Firstly, we should manufacture the equipment inside the US, with strict security protections. Also, these systems must have backup systems, in case the primary systems fail or are compromised, particularly when they are connected to the internet. It is our government's responsibility to protect us from attacks, foreign and domestic. I only today heard about the changes in executive orders that remove these most important protections. Please take steps to harden our systems to withstand and repel any and all attacks. Yes, it will cost a bit more, but the risk is too great to not take these defensive steps. Thank you. Stephen Morgan
