(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate that
the United States should make a substantial new investment this
year toward the following:
(1) Improving State and local preparedness capabilities
by upgrading State and local surveillance epidemiology,
assisting in the development of response plans, assuring ade-
quate staffing and training of health professionals to diagnose
and care for victims of bioterrorism, extending the electronics
communications 
networks 
and 
training 
personnel, 
and
improving public health laboratories.
(2) Improving hospital response capabilities by assisting
hospitals in developing plans for a bioterrorist attack and
improving the surge capacity of hospitals.
(3) Upgrading the bioterrorism capabilities of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention through improving rapid
identification and health early warning systems.
(4) Improving disaster response medical systems, such as
the National Disaster Medical System and the Metropolitan
Medical Response System and Epidemic Intelligence Service.
(5) Targeting research to assist with the development of
appropriate therapeutics and vaccines for likely bioterrorist
agents and assisting with expedited drug and device review
through the Food and Drug Administration.
(6) Improving the National Pharmaceutical Stockpile pro-
gram by increasing the amount of necessary therapies
(including smallpox vaccines and other post-exposure vaccines)
and ensuring the appropriate deployment of stockpiles.
(7) Targeting activities to increase food safety at the Food
and Drug Administration.
(8) Increasing international cooperation to secure dan-
gerous biological agents, increase surveillance, and retrain
biological warfare specialists.

SEC. 1016. CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES PROTECTION.
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This section may be cited as the ‘‘Critical
Infrastructures Protection Act of 2001’’.
(b) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The information revolution has transformed the conduct
of business and the operations of government as well as the
infrastructure relied upon for the defense and national security
of the United States.
(2) Private business, government, and the national security
apparatus increasingly depend on an interdependent network
of critical physical and information infrastructures, including
telecommunications, energy, financial services, water, and
transportation sectors.
(3) A continuous national effort is required to ensure the
reliable provision of cyber and physical infrastructure services
critical to maintaining the national defense, continuity of
government, economic prosperity, and quality of life in the
United States.
(4) This national effort requires extensive modeling and
analytic capabilities for purposes of evaluating appropriate
mechanisms to ensure the stability of these complex and inter-
dependent systems, and to underpin policy recommendations,
so as to achieve the continuous viability and adequate protec-
tion of the critical infrastructure of the Nation.
(c) POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES.—It is the policy of the
United States—
(1) that any physical or virtual disruption of the operation
of the critical infrastructures of the United States be rare,
brief, geographically limited in effect, manageable, and mini-
mally detrimental to the economy, human and government
services, and national security of the United States;
(2) that actions necessary to achieve the policy stated in
paragraph (1) be carried out in a public-private partnership
involving corporate and non-governmental organizations; and
(3) to have in place a comprehensive and effective program
to ensure the continuity of essential Federal Government func-
tions under all circumstances.

BY
NATIONAL
INFRASTRUCTURE
SIMULATION

(2) PARTICULAR
SUPPORT.—The support provided under
paragraph (1) shall include the following:
(A) Modeling, simulation, and analysis of the systems
comprising critical infrastructures, including cyber infra-
structure, telecommunications infrastructure, and physical
infrastructure, in order to enhance understanding of the
large-scale complexity of such systems and to facilitate
modification of such systems to mitigate the threats to
such systems and to critical infrastructures generally.
(B) Acquisition from State and local governments and
the private sector of data necessary to create and maintain
models of such systems and of critical infrastructures gen-
erally.
(C) Utilization of modeling, simulation, and analysis
under subparagraph (A) to provide education and training

disturbances to critical infrastructures; and
(iii) responses to incidents or crises involving crit-
ical infrastructures, including the continuity of govern-
ment and private sector activities through and after
