The House of Representatives is expected to endorse the bill and pass it on for signature to President George W. Bush in short order. A Health and Human Services Department spokesman said today that the first contract under the program would be for an anthrax vaccine and is expected in 'the near future.'" 1B) "Health and Human Services Department Wants to Shift State Bioterror Funds to New Program" Global Security Newswire May 21, 2004 http://www.nti.org/d%5Fnewswire/issues/2004/5/21/b69fcba0%2Dc6cb%2D4a22%2D86 0c%2D3d77b749fabf.html "U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson told lawmakers yesterday that he intends to shift $55 million from state bioterrorism projects to a new federal 'Cities Readiness Initiative,' the Washington Post reported. The money would fund training of U.S. Postal Service letter carriers to deliver antibiotics or antidotes within 48 hours of a biological attack to 21 major cities, installing sophisticated disease surveillance equipment, purchasing vaccines and building new quarantine stations at U.S. airports, according to department documents." 1C) "Redirect Biological Defense Funding Toward Securing Former Soviet WMD, U.S. Researcher Says" Global Security Newswire May 20, 2004 http://www.nti.org/d%5Fnewswire/issues/2004/5/20/91e89c67%2D2efe%2D494d%2Dbc f9%2Db0c43d1c909b.html "The head of Harvard University's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study called this week for the Bush administration to use some of the funding earmarked for biological defenses to help reduce the threat posed by former Soviet weapons of mass destruction, according to the Bloomberg news agency. In today's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, institute Executive Dean Louise Richardson wrote that new biological defense funding to construct secure research laboratories and to train new scientists might result in the spread of biological weapons-related knowledge. Instead, more funding should be allocated to helping prevent terrorists from gaining access to former Soviet biological weapons facilities, she wrote." -------------------------------- WMD - PREP/DEFENSE -------------------------------- 2A) "U.S. House Approves White House CTR Funding Request" Global Security Newswire May 21, 2004 Mike Nartker http://www.nti.org/d%5Fnewswire/issues/2004/5/21/e6bf9361%2D0cd1%2D49fb%2Dbf a5%2Dd8beaf499fad.html "The U.S. House of Representatives yesterday approved a Bush administration request for more than $400 million in the coming fiscal year for a U.S. Defense Department effort to help secure and eliminate weapons of mass destruction in the former Soviet Union. The House voted 391-34 in favor of the fiscal 2005 defense authorization bill, which contains full funding for the administration's $409.2 million request for the Cooperative Threat Reduction program, also known as the Nunn-Lugar program after its architects - Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) and former Senator Sam Nunn (D-Ga.). The administration's fiscal 2005 request was $41.6 million less than the program's current funding level of $450.8 million" 2B) "IAEA's Iranian Nuclear Probe Slowed By Iran, Diplomats Say" U.N. Wire May 19, 2004 http://www.unwire.org/UNWire/20040519/449_24017.asp "The International Atomic Energy Agency will be unable to complete its investigation into Iran's nuclear program by the agency's mid-June target deadline due to Iranian delays in granting access to international inspectors and in fully disclosing its nuclear activities, Agence France-Presse reported yesterday. 'This is ironic since the Iranians are the ones who want the file on them to be closed,' a diplomat close to the Vienna-based agency said yesterday. An official close to the agency said that crucial information from the inspections would not be available for the board of governors meeting in Vienna on June 14. A delay to a round of inspections in March "threw us out of sequence," the official told AFP." 2C) "Government Document on How to Deal with Mass Death" The Scotsman May 21, 2004 David Barrett http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=2958673 "Guidance on how officials should deal with a large number of fatalities after a terrorist attack or other disaster were published by the Government today. The Home Office document sets out how bodies may need to be decontaminated in the event of a chemical, biological, nuclear or radiological (CBRN) terror strike, such as a 'dirty bomb'. It also warned local planners to choose the sites of temporary mortuaries carefully, explaining that the facilities may be required for 'months and in some cases years' after an incident. Buildings used to hold the bodies of those killed in a "mass fatality incident" may even be so 'stigmatised' they needed to be demolished afterwards, the 90-page document said. Aimed at emergency planners in town halls across England and Wales, the paper deals with mass deaths after terror attacks, weather disasters, major transport accidents including air and rail crashes, crowd-related incidents such as over-crowding, structural collapses and industrial accidents." 2D) "Commons Has Hard Lessons to Learn - Hain" The Scotsman May 21, 2004 Alison Hardie http://news.scotsman.com/politics.cfm?id=578002004 "Security chiefs from MI5 were drafted in yesterday to convince MPs to ditch the 'old fashioned culture' at the House of Commons blamed for a major security lapse. The incident on Wednesday, which saw Tony Blair and government ministers pelted with flour 'bombs' from an open Commons gallery, is likely to lead to a major security clampdown. Peter Hain, the Leader of the Commons, said after a meeting with the deputy head of MI5 that steps to boost security will be pushed through, despite continued opposition from many MPs. He painted a picture of a devastating chemical or biological attack designed to kill Mr Blair in an effort to shock MPs further into dropping their opposition to tougher security." ***************** CNS ChemBio-WMD Terrorism News is prepared by the Washington, DC office of the Center for Nonproliferation Studies of the Monterey Institute of International Studies in order to bring timely and focused information to researchers and policymakers interested in the fields of chemical and biological weapons nonproliferation and WMD terrorism.
