Report on Activities and Programs for Countering Proliferation and NBC Terrorism. Volume 1. Executive Summary

Abstract

This Report on Activities and Programs for Countering Proliferation and NBC Terrorism is submitted to the United States Congress as required by the 1994 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (as amended). The report provides the findings of the interagency Counterproliferation Program Review Committee (CPRC). The CPRC was chartered by Congress in 1994 to report on the activities and programs of the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Energy (DOE), and the intelligence community (IC) that address improvements in the U.S. Government s efforts to combat weapons of mass destruction (WMD), their means of delivery, as well as terrorism involving these weapons. This report is the principal executive branch report on research, development, and acquisition (RDA) programs to combat WMD. However, other interagency committees or department-specific groups also publish related but separate reports on nonproliferation, arms control, and combating terrorism programs. The report comprises two volumes. Volume I is the unclassified executive summary. It provides an overview of the offices and principals that make up the CPRC and its Standing Committee; the linkage of CPRC efforts to national strategy and guidance; areas for capability enhancement; an assessment of progress in meeting combating WMD requirements; a presentation of the main efforts of DoD, DOE, and the IC in combating WMD; an overview of the Fiscal Year 2007 (FY07) funding for CPRC-monitored programs; CPRC recommendations for 2006; and finally, the principal conclusions and outlook for future CPRC challenges.
