strategic contingencies; take into

account affordability and arms control

constraints; look at possible further

future ballistic missile defense

technology to the extent that ballistic

missile defense relates to the overall

future strategic posture; and consider

strategies for using the national strategic

technology base to deal with, or hedge

against, the uncertainties and

ambiguities inherent in the nature and

timing of emergence of possible strategic

threats, including possible dissuasion of

such threats; and, consider the

capability of the technology and

industrial base to respond in time to

long-term strategic warning in various

forms, including the adequacy and

responsiveness of DoD’s science and

technology programs.

In accordance with Section 10(d) of

the Federal Advisory Committee Act,

Public Law 92–463, as amended (5
