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 National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (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) and their means of delivery. In 1997, Congress broadened the CPRC's responsibilities to review those research and development (R&D) activities and programs related to countering terrorist nuclear, biological, and chemical threats. This report is the principal executive branch report on research, development, and acquisition (RDA) programs to combat WMD. Other interagency committees or department-specific groups also publish related but separate reports on nonproliferation, arms control, and combating terrorism programs. The findings and recommendations of the CPRC's annual review for 2007 are presented in this, its 14th annual report to Congress.
