bombings, considerable discussion at the federal level has focused on ways to reduce the threat of terrorism. In particular, there has been interest in the possibility of reducing the threat through some combination of decreasing the explosive potential of certain chemicals that might otherwise be used to manufacture explosives; introducing additives, called "taggants," into explosive materials to permit detection or tracing of the material, and imposing licensing or other controls on explosive materials or their chemical precursors.

The National Research Council has been tasked with providing a totally independent assessment.) Statement of Task Issues to be addressed in the committee's final report include: S the viability of adding tracer elements to explosives for the purpose of detection.

One or more of the site visits may involve international travel so that committee members can evaluate strategies that have been adopted by other countries. 6 As mentioned above, the ATE has requested that the National Research Council form a separate panel to study the feasibility and practicability of tagging smokeless and black powder for purposes of detection and identification.
