in 2005, followed more recently by a decline in TMT funding1 but upticks in biosurveillance and the biological aspects of the Cooperative Threat Reduction program. While it is difficult to argue against the importance of any of these principle mission areas, all of them demand sustained investments over many years to achieve both fielded capabilities and a robust S&T base to support and advance the state of the art against threats that are not static.

THE COMMITTEE'S APPROACH Taking into consideration the multiple perspectives of the CBDP offices, the committee found that it needed both common definitions and a common framework in order to determine the core S&T capabilities that are required for the CBDP. The committee agreed on a series of definitions to discuss the CBDP capabilities.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS In Chapter 2 the committee identified the following findings and recommendations: Mission and Strategy Finding 2.1: The CBDP mission is too broadly stated. The stated mission of CBDP is to "Provide global chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense capabilities in support of National Strategies." The mission statement is large enough to allow for a wide variety of interpretations, making it challenging for both the customers of the program and the facilities that support its work to understand the program priorities.

The recommended alignment activity should promote a shared understanding of and commitment to key priorities for maintaining the core capabilities and expertise needed to fulfill the overall program mission and strategy.
