President Increases Funding for Bioterrorism by 319 Percent [February 5, 2002]
In this February 5, 2002 speech at the University of Pittsburgh, President Bush discusses his administration's 319 percent increase in funding for bioterrorism research. "Part of homeland security is to have a first responders mechanism that's modern and current. And part of homeland security is to be prepared to fight any kind of war against bio-terror. And that's what I want to spend some time talking about today. Some of us remember that back in the '50s we had what was called the DEW line on the Arctic Circle, to warn us if enemy bombers were coming over the North Pole to attack America. Well, here in Pittsburgh, I had the honor of seeing a demonstration of the modern DEW line, a Real-time Outbreak and Disease Surveillance system, developed right here, which is one of the country's leading centers on monitoring biological threats."

Coronavirus Vaccine Manufacturing Failures of Emergent Biosolutions
From the Executive Summary: "This staff report was prepared for Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, and Rep. James E. Clyburn, Chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, following an investigation into the Trump Administration's award of a multimillion-dollar contract to Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. (Emergent) to manufacture coronavirus vaccines despite a history of serious deficiencies. The report includes the following key findings: 'Nearly 400 million doses of coronavirus vaccines have been destroyed as a result of Emergent's failure to meet or maintain quality standards.' [...] 'Emergent executives promoted the company's manufacturing capabilities despite being warned of severe deficiencies.' [...] 'FDA, Johnson & Johnson, and AstraZeneca identified multiple deficiencies at Bayview, which Emergent failed to remediate despite urgent warnings.' [...] 'Inexperienced staff and high staff turnover contributed to vaccine contamination.' [...] 'HHS terminated its contract with Emergent because the company failed to follow federal manufacturing standards.'"

Retrospective Risk Allocation
From the Introduction: "The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic presented many contracting parties with new problems. One basic question many parties faced was whether either or both parties were excused from performance, and if so, for how long and with what consequence for the other party. Some contracts were clear about how pandemic-related risks were allocated between the parties. But most contracts were not as clear because there was little indication to parties that detailed drafting would be worthwhile. Thus, even if a contract included a force majeure clause or a material adverse change clause, it might not have specified criteria sufficient to decide whether a party could walk away from a contract altogether, merely suspend performance temporarily, which dates of 2020 and 2021 qualified as 'pandemic dates,' or whether refunds were due for prepaid goods or services."
