Biosecurity Resource Update: new Legislation and Reports pages

05.11.06 | 1 min read | Text by Michael Stebbins & Ivan Oelrich

FAS has added two new sections to its biosecurity resource page. The first section contains information and text on all US laws, pending legislation, and international treaties relating to biosecurity and bioterrorism. We have also launched a page that contains reports on various biosecurity issues from a wide variety of sources including the National Academies, Government Accountability Office and Congressional Research Service. Each page has a customized search engine that allows you to search within the documents listed.

You can find both sections on our Biosecurity Resource Page

Please let us know if you notice anything missing or would like us to link to your efforts.
