“As the National Counterterrorism Center focuses on the customers and users of these dangerous technologies and materials (the terrorists), the NCPC [National Counterproliferation Center] will be focusing on the suppliers and brokers of these items. The NCPC will endeavor to stop these activities before they ever reach the bad guys,” Frist said in a statement earlier this month.
In a letter sent yesterday to two members of the House-Senate conference committee developing a compromise bill, the White House came out against the creation of a counterproliferation center, saying instead that it preferred to wait for the recommendations of a presidential commission established in February to examine WMD-related intelligence.
