University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Center for Biosecurity Endorses PNSR Report
The Center for Biosecurity endorses the conclusions and recommendations of
Forging a New Shield, a report from the Project on National Security Reform.
Without
question, the “. . . national security structures designed in 1947, and
incrementally tweaked ever since, arose and evolved in response to a
singular, unambiguous threat to the United States and its
constitutional order that was expressed principally in military terms .

Executive Summary] are not the structures required for the national security challenges of the 21st century.
While
it is never easy to implement large-scale changes in government,
today’s challenges demand bold actions. The recommendations in this
report came from a coalition of more than 300 national security experts
from think tanks, universities, federal agencies, law firms, and
corporations. This eclectic team was led by a 22-member Guiding
Coalition, including General James L. Jones, USMC (Ret) the National
Security Advisor designee.
