against that same national security. The U.S. often even shares her technological innovations with her allies. Allies, of course, can change over time into enemies. This technological
sharing is a critical component of our international relations yet it could feasibly result in us coming up against weapons that we ourselves developed. This fact too emphasizes the
importance of constantly perfecting and advancing our own technologies. In a Senate committee meeting just this week Senator Orrin Hatch observed that there
are currently some fifty seven bioterrorism threat agents. For those fifty-seven threats, however, we have only two FDA approved responses (Hatch, 2004)! The reason for that shortcoming is
poor attention to the importance of research and development in biotechnology as it relates to national security. This is just one example of why the United States needs a
national security strategy for technology. There are hundreds more. Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist destruction of the World Trade Center and
the subsequent attack on the Pentagon itself, numerous government officials have come to more fully appreciate the importance of emphasizing technology in our national security strategies. In recognition of
