There are several initiatives within that program. There's $500 million on the critical infrastructure applied research initiative. There's $400 million to research defenses against chemical and biological weapons. There are plans for two networks to defend DOD and federal computer systems. There is a cyber core, a core of federal employees highly trained and skilled who would operate federal government computers, defend them against attack and be able to respond to an attack. There are funds to assist industry groups, which would come together to form their own computer defense facilities. And there is a reinvigoration of the public health surveillance system, to allow us to detect chemical and biological attacks when they occur. ... [Read More]

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: Albright on Her Tenure as Secretary of State

MR. BROKAW: War and peace in the Middle East are very much on the mind of America's Secretary of State as she prepares to leave office -- the first woman to hold that job.

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: White House Briefing, November 5

MR. McCLELLAN: I'm not sure that's exactly what he said. I think he's since addressed that issue. What the President's focus is on is strengthening our economy so that we create a more vibrant environment for job creation. There are a number of positive indications when it comes to our economy that it's moving in the right direction. The President is optimistic, but he's not satisfied. There is more that we need to do, and that's why the President has a six-point plan for strengthening our economy even more, and building upon our efforts to translate that into job creation. There are people that are still looking for work that cannot find a job, and that's why the President will continue acting to create a strong environment for job creation. ... [Read More]

And Tommy is the -- he's the head of the Department of Health and Human Services. He's doing a fabulous job. I want to thank you for coming. (Applause.)

Department of State Washington File: Byliner: UNESCO Official on World Press Freedom

Contrary to a widespread belief, the media -- at least in democratic or relatively open societies -- do not control the minds of their readers or viewers. Their job is to enlighten them. And nowhere is that job more important than when covering conflicts, because getting facts out helps to give the voice of reason a chance to rise above the sound and fury of prejudice and hatred. ...

As UNESCO Constitution quite rightly says, wars begin in the minds of people and therefore the search for peace also begins in their minds. Men and women of good will who strive for peace need hard facts to work with. Only solid information can help them determine what the parties involved need to reach a settlement and end their conflict. Reporters who choose the truth instead of sides, not only put their ethics into practice; they also further the cause of peace. ... [Read More]

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: Bush Unveils Plan to Bolster Economic Expansion

We must be more creative when we help those who have the hardest time finding work. To encourage innovation and more choices, and to help those who are out of work find the dignity of a new job, today, I'm unveiling a new approach to helping unemployed Americans through Personal Re-employment Accounts. Under this new program, Americans who face the greatest difficulties in finding work will receive up to $3,000 to use in their job search. They will have great flexibility in how they use that money. A person with a Re-Employment Account will be able to decide whether to use the funds for job training, or child care, or transportation, or even to cover the costs of relocating to another city for a new job. If the job is obtained quickly -- within 13 weeks -- the worker will be able to keep the cash balance as a "Re-employment bonus." ... [Read More]
