I think that you'll see going forward that we'll be further increasing funding for chemical, biological defense programs.

The defense came up big. It is nice to see when you are going through some things on the offense. They have kept up in it.

Countering WMD has been a priority for the department in terms of making sure that our future forces are organized, trained, equipped and resourced to deal with all aspects of threats that are posed by WMD.

If you look at what we've done to date, we've nearly doubled our investments in chemical and biological defenses. We've implemented any number of important organizational changes to address the challenges that are posed by WMD more effectively.

It is the policy of the department to preserve life through lawful, clinical means.

It's a situation that is being monitored closely.
