Jay Rockefeller (D) of West Virginia took the unusual step Wednesday of writing the CEOs of the 500 largest UScompanies to request their views on cybersecurity and the legislation aimed at protecting the nation’s critical infrastructure from computer attacks. Senator Rockefeller wrote a day after two other Senate Democrats, Chris Coons of Delaware and Richard Blumenthalof Connecticut, wrote a joint letter to President Obama calling on him to issue an executive order aimed at protecting critical infrastructure from cyberattack. Rockefeller and Sen. Diane Feinstein (D) of California also have called for presidential action.”
