5 5 Foreign governments, foreign intelligence services, and foreign companies – including those based in the U.S. – have the potential to harm Fermilab’s interests through espionage…

6 6 * Fermilab searches out individuals & programs from both international and domestic organizations with desirable scientific & technical skills, and * Fermilab establishes collaborative ventures to achieve its goals These collaborative efforts are essential to capturing benefits of scientific and technical advances and furthering mutual agreements These collaborative efforts are essential to capturing benefits of scientific and technical advances and furthering mutual agreements
