National Security in the 21st Century

As a part of the SAGE program, the Georgia Tech Library and Information Center and IMTC have developed a CD-ROM entitled “National Security in the 21st Century”. The CD-ROM is intended to increase awareness of the threats to US national security in the new century, including nuclear proliferation, chemical and biological warfare, and information security. The CD looks at the problems, current initiatives underway to combat the problems, and possible new threats and solutions. The program was developed in conjunction with Senator Sam Nunn.

On September 16th, 2001, the Library of Congress Congressional Research Service urgently requested that this CD-ROM (completed and printed January 2000), be sent to them immediately to be included as part of an information packet on biological terrorism that Congress requested for its deliberations that week.
