| Microsoft's security chief and a veteran of Clinton's and Bush's national
| security teams are leading candidates for cybersecurity czar, a job that
| needs White House access and clout to protect networks that underpin the U.S.
| economy.
|
| President Barack Obama promised last month that he would personally decide
| who would lead the fight against an epidemic of cybercrime and organize a
| response to any major cyber attack.

| A leading candidate for the post is Scott Charney, head of Microsoft's
| cybersecurity division, who has said he won't take the job, according to a
| source who had direct knowledge of the matter but was not authorized to
| discuss it. The source said, however, that Charney would change his mind if

| in elections filings. Melinda Gates is listed separately
| for another $50,000 donation, as is Ballmer's wife, Connie.
| That's $200,000 total from the Gates and Ballmer families,
| for anyone keeping track.
