From the closing statements in my testimony, July 16, 2008 (James M. Wilson V, MD, Veratect Corporation, before the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats, Cybersecurity and Science and Technology Hearing on “One Year Later – Implementing the Biosurveillance Requirements of the ‘9/11 Act’”)

1. It is in the national and global interest for the NBIC charter to be implemented immediately. This envisioned system will help protect human, animal and plant life, the national food supply and critical infrastructure against the common enemy of disease. The first step is early detection. We are doing that today.

2. We provide a superset of capabilities, resources and global relationships with private and non-profit organizations that can be of the greatest value to NBIC in meeting its mission. What we do is not reliant upon the NBIC system. We can provide NBIC with a fully operational early disease detection and tracking system today.

3. The disease risks are real and we are on borrowed time. We are fortunate that the SARS epidemic and this year’s H3N2 vaccine mismatch were not more disruptive. And we remain very much exposed to an influenza pandemic. We are eager and ready to support the national mission today.
