Four Executives Sworn in as NSTAC Principals Washington D.C. May 21, 2009 - Four corporate executives recently appointed to the President’s National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC) were sworn today in as NSTAC principals during a brief ceremony at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, adjacent to The White House. The newest members of NSTAC are Marc Gordon, Chief Technology Officer for Bank of America; Kevin R. Johnson, Chief Executive Officer for Juniper Networks; Mr. Thomas J. Lynch, Chief Executive Office of Tyco Electronics; and Kay Sears, President of Intelsat General Corporation. The four executives – appointed by President George W. Bush – are in Washington for the 32nd meeting of NSTAC at The White House and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
President Bush appointed Mr. Lynch to NSTAC on April 7, 2008, while Mr. Gordon received his appointment on October 23. Both Ms. Sears and Mr. Johnson received NSTAC appointments on December 24, 2008. Tim Saunders, White House Executive Clerk, administered the oath to the four newest NSTAC members. The new principals later joined their NSTAC colleagues for a meeting with President Barack H. Obama in the White House to discuss current and future national security and emergency preparedness communications issues. President Ronald Reagan created the NSTAC by Executive Order 12382 in September 1982. Composed of up to 30 industry chief executives representing the major communications and network service providers and information technology, finance, and aerospace companies, the NSTAC provides industry-based advice and expertise to the President on issues and problems related to implementing national security and emergency preparedness communications policy.
