The Georgia Tech Library, in partnership with the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, has made available today a website of presentations from the annual Sam Nunn Policy Forum. This forum, held annually and co-sponsored by the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Georgia and Emory University, brings together experts from academia and the government in public policy areas of national concern.
The 1997 forum, "Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction and National Security," includes videos and transcripts of participants such as former Secretary of Defense William Cohen, discussing the preparation of U.S. troops for terrorism at home and abroad, Senator Richard Lugar discussing national preparation for domestic terrorism, Senator Nunn outlining a five step plan to combat WMD and domestic terrorism, former CIA director, James Woolsey, discussing biological weapons, and former Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick talking about the conflict of posse comitatus when the military is called on to assist with domestic terrorism.
From the 1998 forum, Information Security, Risks, Opportunities and the Bottom Line, CIA Director George Tenet discusses the threat of cyberterrorism and General Robert Tom Marsh discusses threats to the U.S. infrastructure.
