Prevention. In addition, DARPA is very heavily involved in the Department's Technology Area Review and Assessment process. Mr. WELDON. Please provide the funding status on the Area Wide Tracking system? Dr. STOUTLAND. The Department of Energy provided $500,000 in fiscal year 1999 to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to continue development of the Wide Area Tracking System (WATS). The funds are being used as directed by the Department to test the feasibility of integrating WATS into the Nuclear Emergency Search Team (NEST) capability. NEST is currently evaluating what technical and operational changes may be needed to WATS to fully incorporate it into the NEST operational capability. QUESTIONS SUBMITTED BY MR. PICKETT Mr. PICKETT.

SNYDER Mr. SNYDER. The Army has significant capabilities and extensive investment in the Soldier and Biological Chemical Command for equipment research and development, the Pine Bluff Arsenal for equipment fielding and sustainment, the Medical Research & Development Command for medical requirements, and the Dugway Proving Ground for field testing. In light of this, would it be in our best interest to establish a formal technology transfer and sustainment relationship between Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) where the Army becomes the executive agent for DOJ's technical and equipment requirements? General DOESBURG. The DOD has developed extensive capabilities, which we use to prepare and protect our forces for chemical and biological threats. The DOD is ready to support the DOJ as the lead agency for the nation's Domestic Preparedness Program. The DOD is willing to discuss with the DOJ how DOD assets and capabilities could be used to support the DOJ program. Mr. SNYDER. The Pine Bluff Arsenal, the Arkansas National Guard, and the FDA's National Center for Toxicological Research all possess great logistical and operational capability for the development of equipment, vaccines, and supplies. Do you believe this logistical capability should be used to support the Domestic Preparedness Program? General DOESBURG. The DOD has not requested funding to continue developing the capabilities at Pine Bluff Arsenal. We expect that DOJ will address the funding needs of Pine Bluff Arsenal and other elements as they define the requirements of the nation's Domestic Preparedness Program. |
