Brian J. Gorman, M.Sc., J.D. Towson University, Maryland Presentation for The National Academies’ Committee on Scientific Communication and National Security October 30, 2006 Balancing Secrecy and Open Science The Dual Use Dilemma

The Dual Use Dilemma. Open publication of scientific methods Helps advance science Helps terrorists and rogue states pursue bioweapons

The Biosecurity Threat Unique Threat of Bioterrorism  Lowest financial barrier at $1 per life  Lowest access barrier to equipment  Least effective detection modalities  Longest lead time before awareness  Largest population with technical know- how  Weakest state controls  Weakest international treaties  Widest reach due to transmissibility  Worst cooperation from professionals  Widest access to sensitive information

Prevention Experiments of Concern* 1.Renders a vaccine ineffective 2.Alters resistance to antibiotics agents 3.Increases virulence of a pathogen 4.Increases transmissibility of a pathogen 5.Alters the host range of a pathogen 6.Enables evasion of detection 7.Enables the weaponization of a biological agent or toxin * Committee on Research Standards and Practice to Prevent the Destructive Application of Biotechnology, National Research Council of National Academy of Sciences, Biotechnology Research in an Age of Terrorism 2004

Prevention Notice Mechanism for Sensitive Science The national security community has no advance warning of publications on sensitive science. The national security community has no advance warning of publications on sensitive science. Export rules address national security by controlling the transfer of U.S. technology to countries of concern. Export rules address national security by controlling the transfer of U.S. technology to countries of concern. Fundamental research is exempt from export license requirements. Fundamental research is exempt from export license requirements. Removal of the fundamental research exemption for select agents would provide the national security community with notice of sensitive dual use science before publication to assure proper vetting.
