3. Basic Research Needs to Counter Terrorism John H. Marburger, III Director, OSTP From a presentation to the AAAS symposium “The War on Terrorism: What Does it Mean for Science?” December, 2001 “Science and engineering have critical roles to play in the war on terrorism. We need improved tools with which to prevent, detect, protect, and treat victims of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and conventional terrorist attacks. Additionally, we will need new and improved tools to recover facilities from those same types of attacks, should they ever occur.”

4. Basic Research Needs to Counter Terrorism Identify critical science issues and opportunities in research areas supported by BES that will be important to our Nation's ability to detect, prevent, protect against, and respond to future terrorist threats. A report will be available that will summarize the presentations and discussions and include recommendations for future basic research investment needs. Workshop Objective Expected Outcome Walter Stevens (walter.stevens@science.doe.gov)BES Lead Terry Michalske, Sandia National Laboratories (tamicha@sandia.gov) Workshop Chair Jay Davis, National Security Fellow, LLNL and former Director, Defense Threats Reduction Agency Keynote Speaker

8. Basic Research Needs to Counter Terrorism The workshop report will be posted on the BES website by the end of March 2002. A survey of National Laboratory research relevant to counter terrorism has been completed and will be included as an appendix to the report. Focused workshops in the areas of chemical, biological, and nuclear/radiological threats are being considered for the Summer 2002.
