~ Bush budget seeks $344 million in nanotech funding By EE Times February 07, 2005 (3:51 PM EST)
~ URL: http://eet.com/article/showArticle.jhtml?articleId=59301622
~ WASHINGTON — The Bush administration's fiscal 2006 budget proposal includes $344 million in spending next year for nanotechology research and development.
~ The R&D funding request for nanotechnology would target advances in manufacturing, materials, information technologies and medicine.
~ Other high-tech research provisions in the budget proposal released Monday (Feb. 7) included
~ $132 billion for military and civilian R&D
~ including $5.6 billion for the National Science Foundation (NSF).
~ NSF would oversee cybersecurity research as part of a $94 million budget request to defend the nation's IT infrastructure from cyber attacks.
~ Overall government spending for IT would increase by 7 percent to $65.1 billion in 2006 under the request,
~ led by a 24.7 percent increase for the Department of Homeland Security.
~ The budget request also includes tax breaks for industry like a permanent extension of the R&D tax credit.
~ A recent US assessment of nuclear terrorism, which covers traditional nuclear weapons
~ (but not radiological dispersal devices or attacks on nuclear power or reprocessing facilities),
~ concludes that while it would be difficult for terrorists to mount a nuclear attack on a US city,
~ such an attack is, nevertheless, plausible.

Chemical plants
~ one target
Links & News:
~ WASHINGTON — Chemical plants in the USA are vulnerable targets for terrorists
~ and represent a grave risk to Americans because of weak governmental regulation,
~ a former top Homeland Security adviser to President Bush said Monday.
~ The Kuehne Chemical Company in Kearny, N.J., is on a list of factories that would pose the greatest danger if it was to be attacked.
~ Richard Falkenrath, who left the White House in May,
~ said in a written statement he expects to deliver to Congress on Wednesday
~ that he bears some responsibility for the Bush administration's policy on chemical plant security.
~ Regretfully, some portion of this responsibility clearly belongs to me,
~ Falkenrath says in the written testimony, which he gave to USA TODAY.
~ The government estimates that there are more than 15,000 chemical facilities nationwide,
~ including more than 100 in heavily populated areas.
~ Such plants can store enough deadly chemicals to kill or injure hundreds of thousands of people.
~ Falkenrath is among a growing number of officials
~ who are rethinking the government's policy to count on chemical plants to voluntarily beef up their own security.
~ More than three years after the Sept. 11 terror attacks,
~ Falkenrath will tell the Senate Homeland Security committee
~ that chemical plants and rail cars that transport deadly chemicals are easy, unprotected targets for terrorists.
~ He is scheduled to be joined at the hearing by the Bush-appointed head of the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board,
~ which probes deadly accidents.
~ Carolyn Merritt, who has never before spoken publicly about chemical security,
~ said she will tell the committee that the federal government needs to do more to protect the public
~ from the intentional or accidental release of deadly chemicals.
~ She cited the January rail car crash in remote Graniteville, S.C., that killed 10 people after 60 tons of chlorine was released.
~ Merritt's testimony, which she provided to USA TODAY,
~ says there are "serious gaps in the preparations for
~ major chemical releases by companies, emergency responders, government authorities and the public."
~ In his testimony, Falkenrath says, "I am aware of no other category of potential terrorist targets that presents as great a danger."
~ He urges Congress to require the Homeland Security Department to maintain an inventory of chemical plants,
~ develop safety standards, verify that plants have met those requirements and impose civil and criminal penalties on those that fail.
~ Senate Homeland Security committee Chairwoman Susan Collins, R-Maine,
~ said that many plants are in heavily-populated urban areas and "have little more to secure them than a fence around the perimeter."
~ "Chemical facilities are attractive both as a source of chemicals
~ that could be stolen to build bombs, and for the release of toxic fumes into the surrounding communities," she said.
~ Homeland Security Department spokeswoman Michelle Petrovich says
~ inspectors have reviewed security at more than 160 of the 300 plants "of immediate concern."
~ The department encourages plants to follow voluntary security guidelines
~ put forth by the American Chemistry Council,
~ which represents companies accounting for 90% of the nation's industrial chemical production.
~ But Homeland Security officials have no legal authority to force plants to tighten security.
~ Even the chemistry council favors government regulation to "level the playing field" by requiring
~ all plants to pay for security upgrades, spokeswoman Kate McGloon says.
~ Rick Hind of #593924peace says he welcomes Falkenrath's candor.
~ "The biggest threat we face," he says, "is inaction from the federal government."

Persian Gulf & oil producers
FOCUS #1: the area where most of the world's oil and gas reservois are located
Estimated oil and gas reserves:
1) Iraq
~ 115 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, and possibly much more undiscovered
~ at least 110 trillion cubic feet of natural gas
2) Saudi Arabia
~ 261.9 billion barrels of proven oil reserves
~ one-fourth of the world's proven oil reserves and some of the lowest production costs
3) Kuwait
~ 99.0 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, roughly 8 percent of the world's total oil reserves
4) United Arab Emirates
~ 98 billion barrels, or nearly 10 percent, of the world's proven oil reserves
5) Bahrain
~ Bahrain produces only a modest quantity of oil,
~ but it is a growing regional services center strategically located on the Persian Gulf
6) Yemen
~ Yemen, a small non-OPEC oil producer, is important to world energy markets
~ because of its oil and natural gas resources and strategic location on the Bab el-Mandab strait,
~ one of the world's most active shipping lanes
7) Iran
~ 125.8 billion barrels of proven oil reserves
~ Iran is OPEC's second largest oil producer and holds 10 percent of the world's proven oil reserves.
~ It also has the world's second largest natural gas reserves after Russia
