President Bush has ordered plans for temporarily disabling the U.S. network of
global positioning satellites during a national crisis to prevent terrorists
from using the navigational technology, the White House said Wednesday.

Any shutdown of the network inside the United States would come under only the
most remarkable circumstances, said a Bush administration official who spoke
to a small group of reporters at the White House on condition of anonymity.

The GPS system is vital to commercial aviation and marine shipping.
