Protecting the United States against terrorist attack is now a national priority. Defending the nation requires a commitment from federal, state and local government, as well as from business and industry, to understand the threats and to design collaborative, effective responses.
To shore up the country's defenses, we must develop the capacity to detect threats from domestic and international terrorists. We must also devise methods to stop unconventional attacks and prevent the use of weapons of mass destruction, whether biological, chemical, or nuclear. Because our ability to fully protect the nation from terrorism will be imperfect, we must prepare for effective responses to terrorist events within our borders.
