Overview of the Administration's FY 2008 Request for Homeland Security
Update (PDF file - opens in new window)
By Steven Kosiak

Estimating how much needs to be spent on homeland security in order to effectively protect the United States from terrorist attacks is an extremely difficult task—far beyond the scope of this brief overview of the administration’s funding request for FY 2008. Given the enormous challenges related to homeland security that the United States faces, it is possible that substantially more funding may be needed than has been proposed by the administration. Conversely, in some areas, there may be significant limitations as to how much—realistically—providing additional funding can do to improve US homeland security.

Analysis of the FY 2008 Defense Budget Request
Report (PDF file - opens in new window)
By Steven Kosiak

in coming years pressure will grow for DoD to scale back its plans, including both major modernization efforts (e.g., the F-35, FCS and DDG 1000 programs) and force structure plans. There is good reason to believe that by adopting a scaled-back and more transformation-oriented defense plan the United States could avoid (or offset) much of the cost growth that is otherwise projected in DoD’s plans, by CBO and others, and still adequately meet its security requirements. However, so long as a large US military presence is required in Iraq or it is deemed necessary to maintain the capability to conduct such large-scale stability operations in the future, it will be difficult or impossible to make reductions in some programs and activities—especially in Army and Marine Corps force structure.

Avoiding the Plague
Report (PDF file - opens in new window)
By Robert Sherman

Given the highly lethal nature of some biological agents, the spread of biotechnology and related industries and expertise, and the interest of some terrorist groups in causing mass casualties, there is little prospect that the United States will be able shield its population entirely from bioterrorist attacks. Enacting the funding increases and other changes outlined in this report would be an important first step on the road toward achieving this more effective—albeit necessarily imperfect—capability.
