Report on Allied Contributions to the Common Defense (2000)
This Report presents the Department of Defense assessment of the relative contributionstoward the common defense and mutual security made by our NATO allies, our Pacific allies,
(Japan and the Republic of Korea), and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).Under legislative provisions dating to the Defense Authorization Act of 1981 (P.L. 96-342, Section 1006), the Department of Defense is required to compare the defense burdens borne by our allies,explain disparities, and describe efforts to eliminate such disparities. This Report addresses
requirements originally set forth in the 1984 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 98-525),
Title X, Section 1003, Defense Burdensharing, paragraphs a-d. The most recent baselinelegislation addressing this reporting requirement is the FY 1997 National Defense Authorization Act, Title X, Section 1084. This Report also covers burdensharing reporting requirements set forth in the FY 2000 Department of Defense Military Construction Appropriations Act (P.L. 106-52),
Section 119. For the last four years, beginning with the FY 1997 Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 104-
201), Congress has recognized that there are multiple and diverse ways in which allies may share the responsibility for achieving mutual security objectives. The Department looks forward to continuing to work with the Congress in structuring a comprehensive and balanced framework
within which to evaluate allied contributions to common defense and mutual security.

Deterring Violent Non-State Actors in the New Millennium
The attacks of September 11 and the ensuing global war on terrorism have highlighted what many observers had predicted during the 1990s: that collective violence and challenges to the international system by violent non-state actors (VNSA) would become a defining feature of the post-Cold War security environment. It is asserted that new adversaries like Al Qaeda will pursue their objectives whatever the cost and cannot be deterred by the threat of retaliation. These assertions have generated much thinking and debate about the role that deterrence is supposed to play in national security strategy and policy. While it may be true that deterrence will not function with VNSAs in the same way deterrence worked during the Cold War, we believe a revised version of deterrence that we would call Broad Biological Deterrence, or BBD, remains a viable strategy for meeting the challenge posed by VNSAs.

Deterrence and Preemption
The logic of deterrence is thus more elusive than it may appear at first glance, especially if that glance is conditioned by the long nuclear stand-off of the Cold War. Nuclear deterrence is deterrence in radically simplified form, since the destructiveness of the weapons themselves tends to disabuse those who hold them of any notion that mere audacity or cleverness could allow them to evade the consequences of their use; though it is worth recalling that even in the nuclear arena the hypothetical dangers of a "decapitating" first strike have proved capable of stirring up intense anxiety from time to time. Nuclear deterrence--which amounts to little more than an exchange of hostages on a massive scale--is also unusual in that, at least as between the Soviet Union and its Western opponents, both sides were tacitly willing to admit to being deterred, a fact that contributed to the transparency, and hence the stability, of the nuclear balance.

Following the Terrorist Informal Money Trail: The Hawala Financial Mechanism
Since 9/11, investigations into the al Qaeda financial network have led to several notable successes in the United States and Europe. Much of this achievement in the United States has resulted from strengthening the financial investigatory powers of domestic law enforcement agencies and coordinating them through the Treasury Department's new Foreign Terrorist Asset Tracking Center. In other countries, the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force, for example, is helping to coordinate the tracking of terrorist funds through the global banking system and cracking down on countries that fail to improve transparency and regulation. These efforts are already proving useful in uncovering large-scale drug-trafficking and money-laundering operations. They have also helped reveal important information on terrorist groups, particularly those operating in the West.

Critical Infrastructure Protection: Comprehensive Strategy Can Draw on Year 2000 Experiences, Report to the Chairman, Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem, U.S. Senate
The nation's computer-based critical infrastructures are at increasing risk of severe disruption. Interconnectivity increases the risk that problems affecting one system will also affect other interconnected systems. Although these problems could be caused by natural disasters, such as earthquakes, and system-inducted problems, such as the Year 2000 conversion problem, government officials are increasingly concerned about attacks from individuals and groups with malicious intentions, such as terrorists and nations engaged in information warfare. Critical systems could be disrupted, sensitive data could be read or copied, and data or processes could be tampered with. A significant concern is that terrorists or hostile foreign states could target critical systems, such as those supporting energy distribution, telecommunications, and financial services, in order to harm the public welfare. The need to strengthen computer security in both government and the private sector has been recognized over the past several years by many groups, including GAO, and several steps have been taken to address the problem. During 1996 and 1997, federal information security was addressed by the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, which had been created to investigate the country's vulnerability to both "cyber" and physical threats. A 1998 Presidential directive recognizes that overcoming computer-based threats to the country's critical infrastructures requires new approach involving coordination and cooperation across federal agencies and among public and private sector groups and other nations.

Combating Terrorism: Chemical and Biological Medical Supplies Are Poorly Managed, Report to Congressional Committees
The ability of the United States to effectively respond to terrorist attacks involving chemical or biological weapons is compromised by poor management controls and the lack of items on a list of required inventory. For example, GAO's review of stockpiles maintained by the Department of Veterans Affairs found discrepancies of more than 12 percent with this list. Although most of these discrepancies were overages, GAO also found shortages. The underlying cause of these problems is that federal agencies have lagged in implementing basic internal controls to help ensure that all medical supplies and pharmaceuticals are current, accounted for, and ready for use. The stakes will be even higher in the future as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) establishes the National Pharmaceutical Stockpile Program, which will set aside large quantities of antidotes and other medical supplies to be used in the event of domestic chemical and biological attacks. Although CDC is still in the early stages of developing this program, its current plan lacks comprehensive internal controls that would prevent the types of problems that GAO found at other agencies.

Critical Infrastructure Protection: Fundamental Improvements Needed to Assure Security of Federal Operations, Statement of Jack L. Brock, Jr., Director, Governmentwide and Defense Information Systems Accounting and Information Management Division, Testimony before the Subcommittee on Technology, Terrorism and Government Information, Committee on the Judiciary, U.S. Senate
Since the early 1990s, an explosion in computer interconnectivity, particularly the growth in Internet use, has revolutionized the way that the government and the world communicate and do business. The benefits have been enormous. Without proper safeguards, however, this widespread interconnectivity poses enormous risks to critical operations and infrastructures in such areas as telecommunications, power distribution, law enforcement, national defense, and other government services. This testimony discusses efforts by federal agencies to deal with computer security issues. Recent audits by GAO and agency inspectors general show that the government is not adequately protecting critical federal operations and assets from computer attacks. This testimony provides greater detail on these problems and discusses broader issues that need to be considered as a national strategy for critical infrastructure protection is being considered.

Combating Terrorism: Observations on the Threat of Chemical and Biological Terrorism, Statement of Henry L. Hinton, Jr., Assistant Comptroller General, National Security and International Affairs Division, Testimony before the Subcommittee on National Security, Veterans Affairs, and International Relations, Committee on Government Reform, House of Representatives
Without substantial backing from a state sponsors, most terrorists would have to overcome significant technical and other hurdles to produce and release chemical and biological weapons capable of killing or injuring large numbers of people. According to experts GAO consulted, except for toxic industrial chemicals, such as chlorine, specialized knowledge is needed in the manufacturing process and in improvising an effective delivery system for most chemical and nearly all biological weapons. Moreover, some of the components of chemical agents and highly infective strains of biological agents are difficult to obtain. Finally, terrorists would face other obstacles in carrying out a successful attack, from unfavorable weather conditions to personal safety risks. The President's fiscal year 2000 budget proposes $10 billion for counterterrorism programs--an increase of more than $3 billion over the amount requested for fiscal year 1999. To determine whether the government is spending enough on counterterrorism and spending this money on the most appropriate programs, policymakers need the best estimates of the specific threats facing the United States. The intelligence community has recently produced estimates of terrorist threats from abroad involving chemical and biological weapons. GAO recommends that the FBI prepare comparable estimates for domestic threats.

CANUSCENT: Annex III: A Plan for Response to Oil and Hazardous Material Spills Along the Inland Border and Connecting Channels between Ontario, Canada and Michigan, Minnesota, and New York, United States
The Canada-United States Joint Inland Pollution Contingency Plan (the Inland Plan) provides for an international coordination mechanism to ensure appropriate and effective cooperative preparedness, reporting, and response measures between Canada and the United States when a chemical accident occurs along the shared inland boundaries. In addition, the Plan provides for co-operative measures for dealing with accidental and unauthorized releases of pollutants that cause or may cause damage to the environment along the shared inland border and that may constitute a threat to public health, property, or welfare. The Inland Plan, signed on July 25, 1994 by the Minister for the Department of Environment for Canada and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency for the United States of America, calls for the development of five geographic annexes, which cover the full international boundary. CANUSCENT (Annex III), covers the shared inland border between the Province of Ontario and the States of Minnesota, Michigan and New York.

Fiscal Year 1999 State Domestic Preparedness Equipment Program Application Kit
The Office of the Assistant Attorney General, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), in coordination with the National Domestic Preparedness Office, is providing funds to States
for the purchase of specialized equipment for fire, emergency medical, hazardous materials
response services, and law enforcement agencies. These funds will be used to enhance the
capabilities of State and local units of government to respond to acts of terrorism involving chemical and biological agents, as well as radiological, nuclear, and explosive devices. The threat of terrorist incidents in our Nation presents enormous challenges to the Federal
Government and, more significantly, to State and local governments. To address these challenges, the Federal Government is committed to assisting State and local governments better prepare for and respond to terrorist incidents, should they occur. The role of the States in strategic planning--namely, the coordination of resources and responses--and in
assessing overall State and local capabilities is a critical component of OJP's State and local domestic preparedness initiative. Indeed, the critical role of local government agencies as the Nation's primary first response groups must be reflected in any domestic preparedness
plan the States develop. In recognition of the role local jurisdictions play in any weapons of mass destruction (WMD) response, it is expected that local police, fire, hazardous material, and emergency medical units will receive the majority of funds under this program.

Army and Homeland Security: A Strategic Perspective
This monograph grew out of a tasking by the Army Staff to investigate the Army's role in homeland security from a strategic, rather than a legal or procedural perspective. The author achieves this perspective by placing homeland security missions within the larger spectrum of operations. In so doing, he exposes potential problem areas--missions requiring more or different force structure than that already available--for further action by the Army. He also recommends that the Army consider alternative force-sizing metrics that include, as a minimum, the "high-end" homeland security identified in the study.

The implementation and maintenance of the Plan is a joint responsibility of both agencies. The purpose of the CANUSPLAIN Regional Annex is to assist federal, state/provincial, Tribal/Aboriginal and local responders to mitigate the effects of on human health and safety, property and the environment by providing for an integrated response to environmental emergency incidents along the shared inland border between Canada and the United States. The Annex outlines the procedures which would be used to initiate a federal government response on either side of the border in order to facilitate an effective joint response. The Annex outlines jurisdiction, notification and response procedures for both federal governments.

2002 Year in Review: United States Department of Defense
This report reviews events and accomplishments of the United States Department of Defense in 2002. US troops and coalition forces made progress in the war against terror, and the US continued to transform its military for the challenges of the 21st century. In 2002, Operation Enduring Freedom drove the Taliban from power in Afghanistan and disrupted the al Qaeda network responsible for the September 11th attacks. In Afghanistan and around the world, a coalition of more than 90 nations will continue to fight terrorism and work toward global peace, security and stability. This year, the Defense Department developed a new defense strategy and replaced the old model for sizing forces with a newer approach more relevant to the 21st century. The Defense Department proposed and the President approved a significant reorganization of the worldwide command structure, known as the Unified Command Plan. In the event of terrorist attack, civil disturbance or natural disaster, NORTHCOM will coordinate a response to the crisis with other federal agencies, and state and local governments. Over the last 12 months the Department refocused its space capabilities and fashioned a new concept of strategic deterrence that increases security while reducing strategic nuclear weapons.

Roadmap to Deploy New Nuclear Power Plants in the United States by 2010, Volume II-Main Report
The objective of this document is to provide the Department of Energy (DOE) and the nuclear industry with the basis for a plan to ensure the availability of near-term nuclear energy options that can be in operation in the U.S. by 2010. This document identifies the technological,
regulatory, and institutional gaps and issues that need to be addressed for new nuclear plants to be deployed in the U.S. in this timeframe. It also identifies specific designs that could be deployed by 2010, along with the actions and resource requirements that are needed to ensure their availability. This near-term roadmap will also serve as input for a longer term and broader scope Generation IV Nuclear Technology Roadmap being prepared by DOE, as discussed below. In order to meet this objective, at least one competitive nuclear energy generation option, NRC-certified
and/or ready to construct, must be available for order by late 2003. Further, this Roadmap presents a plan to make available by 2010 a range of competitive, NRC-certified
and/or ready to construct nuclear energy generation options of a range of sizes to meet variations in market need, in order to have multiple new plants on line by the end of the decade.

Generation IV Water-Cooled Reactor Concepts
"This Technical Working Group was charged with the identification and
evaluation of advanced water-cooled reactor concepts. The initial activity was the assessment and 'screening for potential' of candidate systems. Advanced water-cooled reactor concepts were identified via a formal DOE 'Request for Information' (RFI) issued in April 2001. This process resulted in submittal of 30 advanced water reactor concepts by researchers and industry experts in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, and the U.S. In addition, the technical working group itself developed information on eight concepts, yielding a total of 38 concepts for evaluation. The technical working group consolidated all but one of the 38 reactor and fuel cycle concepts into nine distinct concept sets, based on their key common features. The technical working group then conducted a preliminary evaluation of these nine sets in order to determine their potential to achieve the Generation IV goals."

Generation IV Gas-cooled Reactor System Concepts
The purpose of this presentation is to identify and evaluate advanced gas cooled reactor system concepts for advancing the Generation IV goals. A DOE RFI and team solicitations resulted in 21 reactor system
concepts submitted from France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, and the U.S. The 21 concepts were consolidated into four concept sets. The four concept sets have been qualitatively screened to assess their potential to achieve the generation IV goals. The screening used criteria developed by the Evaluation Methodology Group in support of each goal, and measured
against existing advanced light water reactor designs. The advanced gas-cooled thermal reactor system concepts
show promise for: modest improvements in sustainability, significant improvement toward safety goals, and comparable economics with the potential for major improvement in applications other than electricity. Fast reactor concepts show: significant improvement toward sustainability goals, and that much development is needed to define promising concepts. All concept sets allow high temperature process heat
applications, in addition to electrical generation. The VHTR
concepts allow more applications and higher efficiencies. The next step is to quantitatively assess the concept sets and define R&D scope.

Summary of Generation IV Non-Classical Nuclear Systems
Out of a total of 32 concepts gathered, among them 28 meet the Generation IV requirement of fission based self sustained criticality. Based on the primary design features , six "Concept Sets" are defined as: Liquid Core Reactors, Gas Core Reactors, Non-Conventional Coolant Reactors, Non-Convection Cooled Reactors, Direct Energy Conversion Reactors, and Modular Deployable Reactors. Non-Classical reactor concepts feature higher potential to meet or exceed
Gen IV performance goals at somewhat lower technology readiness level. Despite many technology gaps and data uncertainties, there is no
lack of innovation and revolutionary ideas in Non-Classical reactor concepts. Several concepts such as gas/vapor core reactors offer promising advances toward the Gen IV goals for sustainability, safety, and
economy, and have potential for making significant inroads toward achieving the optimum utilization of nuclear energy. Gas/vapor core reactors set the upper performance potential in sustainability and safety with no insurmountable technology challenge. Evaluations of modular deployable concepts are underway. Direct energy conversion and non-convective cooled nuclear
reactor systems are eliminated from further evaluation process.
