Joint Spectrum Interference Resolution (JSIR) Procedures
"This manual standardizes techniques and procedures for spectrum interference resolution throughout the DOD. This manual provides detailed guidance to the DOD regarding standard EMI detection, identification, reporting and resolution procedures for space and terrestrial systems...The JSIR program addresses EMI events and electronic warfare affecting the Department of Defense. The program is coordinated and managed for the Joint Staff Command, Control, Communications, and Computer (C4) Systems Directorate (J-6) by the JSC, Annapolis, Maryland. The program itself is centrally managed; however, the execution process is highly decentralized. Each of the DOD components shares responsibility for successful execution of the JSIR program. The objective of the JSIR program is to report and assist with the resolution of EA and recurring EMI from cradle to grave. The resolution process for EMI events are broken into three steps: 1) identification, verification, characterization and reporting, 2) geolocation, analysis, developing courses of action and recommendations (corrective actions), 3) implementation, and notification to user(s) and final closure reporting. Resolution includes but is not limited to implementation of EMI corrective actions needed to regain use of the affected spectrum. However, some EMI events cease before corrective action is taken, and in other cases, the EMI corrections may not be feasible, affordable, or result in regaining the use of the spectrum."

New World Coming: American Security in the 21st Century: Supporting Research and Analysis: The Phase I Report on the Emerging Global Security Environment for the First Quarter of the 21st Century
As powerful as the United States may well be over the next 25 years, the world will not be tidily managed, whether from Washington or from anywhere else. History has not ended, mankind's cultural diversity endures, and both the will to power and the pull of passionate ideas remain as relevant as ever in political life both within and among nations. A diffusion of power thus stands before us, but not necessarily one of the classical sort. A new balance of power may arise that would be intelligible even to the statesmen of the 18th and 19th centuries, but something more, and something different, will overlap and perhaps overwhelm it. The ever tighter harnessing of science to technological innovation, and of that innovation to global economic integration, is changing the rules of international engagement. It is even affecting the identity of its engaging parties. The sway of state power has always fluctuated within society, and states have often competed with other institutions for influence beyond their borders. But the challenges now being mounted to national authority and control--if not to the national idea itself--are both novel and mighty.

1998 Progress Report: Study of Marking, Rendering Inert and Licensing of Explosives Materials
The 1997 Progress Report, available on the Internet at http://www.atf.treas, discussed the first phase of the Study. This progress report covers the second phase of the Study, which concluded in October 1998. This progress report notes significant findings and potentially viable identification and detection technologies. It also reports on the ESG's ongoing initiatives and future plans, relevant to the Study as of that date. Homemade explosives can be manufactured from chemicals found in a wide range of products that are used everyday in the U.S. The easy availability of these potentially explosive chemicals is compounded by the fact that information on making bombs is readily available from a variety of sources, including thousands of sites on the Internet. Based on currently available information, rendering common chemicals inert would impact negatively on their legitimate uses, as is the case with AN fertilizer. Further, at this time, establishing regulations for the purchase of small quantities of precursor chemicals appears to be impractical, given their prevalence in the American home. The ESG believes that industry-based voluntary control and public awareness programs are the most reasonable, immediate means of addressing this problem.

Hart-Rudman Commission and the Homeland Defense
"The U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century, popularly known as the Hart-Rudman Commission after its chairs, has recently produced a series of reports. The commission believes that recent changes in the security environment mean the rise of new threats, in particular the likelihood of an attack on American soil resulting in thousands of casualties. As a consequence, the commission calls for major changes in the organization of national security institutions in order to respond adequately to these new challenges. This monograph discusses the assumptions underlying the diagnosis and threat assessment made by the commission. It argues that several assumptions made by the commission are of debatable merit and rest on a very selective reading of social science. The commission relies heavily on the notion that globalization has both integrative and disintegrative tendencies. While for much of the world globalization increases integration, there will be an intense rejection of western culture and a backlash to globalization in parts of the Third World. The key assumptions underlying this picture are that people in traditional societies are disoriented by rapid social change and seek to turn the clock back."

Beyond Nation Building
Remarks as delivered by Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, 11th Annual Salute to Freedom, Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum, New York City, Friday, February 14, 2003. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld said the United States, in a post-Saddam Hussein Iraq, would seek to create conditions where the Iraqi people can form a government in their own way, just as Afghans have done with their representative government that is uniquely Afghan. Rumsfeld also states that no matter what new problem arises in the world, the United States will not abandon Afghanistan until it has been completely restructured. He said it remains an important ally, not just in the war on terrorism, but in the greater struggle for freedom and moderation in the Middle East. Finally, he said that if the United States does lead an international coalition into Iraq, it will be guided by two commitments; stay as long as necessary, and leave as soon as possible.

Strategic Challenges for the Bush Administration: Perspectives from the Institute for National Strategic Studies
"As the Bush administration settles into office, the United States confronts an international environment marked by growing volatility and rapid change. To answer these questions, leading policy specialists in the Institute for National Strategic Studies at the National Defense University recently prepared a series of assessments for the Department of Defense. Together with the Institute's previously published Report of the National Defense University Quadrennial Defense Review 2001 Working Group, these assessments offer a broad menu of security policy choices. At the same time, it will have to deal with several points of friction in U.S.-China security relations, particularly the risk of conflict in the Taiwan Strait, and address the complex political and social crises in Indonesia that threaten regional stability. In the Middle East, the collapse of the Arab-Israeli peace process and the dynamics of the oil market pose grave concerns, but the most vexing security issues in the region concern the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, Iraq, Iran, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). With support for sanctions evaporating, crafting a sustainable Iraq policy that eliminates its WMD and promotes regime change is a clear priority. Internal political changes in Iran will not alter Iran's foreign and security policies considerably, including its determination to acquire nuclear weapons. With Russia, the key challenge will be to develop a new strategy for dealing with a declining power whose ambitions generally exceed its capabilities. In South Asia, enduring tensions between India and Pakistan that could erupt into a nuclear war, the vulnerability of Pakistan to growing Islamic militancy, and mounting competition between India and China cloud the security environment."
