Administration Not Taking Sides In Google-China Cyber Spat

January 14, 2010

From this morning's Earlybird:

• "U.S. government officials and business leaders were supportive but wary of taking sides in Google Inc.'s battle with China, a sign of the delicate tensions between the growing superpower and the West," the Wall Street Journal (subscription) reports.

• "The White House so far has left the administration response" to the Google-China Internet censorship fight "to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is scheduled to give an address on Internet freedom next week," The Hill reports.

• "The Obama administration has invited dozens of the nation's top executives to the White House" today "seeking tips on how the federal bureaucracy can become leaner and meaner," the Washington Post reports. "White House officials are hoping to use new technologies, such as the Web and text messaging, to make that" happen.

Roll Call (subscription) reports on the difficulties people are having finding information about procurement opportunities in the Senate through government Web sites.
