07/25/2007 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. 07/23/2007 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. 06/07/2007 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. 05/09/2007 CSBA Issues New Bioterror Report Press Release (PDF file - opens in new window) By Natalya Anfilofyeva CSBA releases new Report "Avoiding the Plague: an Assessment of U.S. Plans and Funding for Countering Bioterrorism" by Steven Kosiak 05/09/2007 Spending on US Strategic Nuclear Forces Report (PDF file - opens in new window) By Steven Kosiak The report analyzes options the United States might pursue over the next several decades to modernize its nuclear offensive strategic forces 09/01/2006 Overview of the Administration's FY 2007 Request for Homeland Security Update (PDF file - opens in new window) By Steven Kosiak The Bush Administration’s fiscal year (FY) 2007 budget request includes $58.3 billion for homeland security.
