Prepared by the DoD Tiger Team
January, 1998
| I believe the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction presents the
greatest threat that the world has ever known. We are finding more and more countries who
are acquiring technology – not only missile technology – and are developing
chemical weapons and biological weapons capabilities to be used in theater and also on a
long range basis. So I think that is perhaps the greatest threat that any of us will face
in the coming years. -- Secretary of Defense William Cohen |
