Months before the attack, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in Washington, D.C, had already decided the time was right to mount a study of "homeland defense" against terrorism. Now, academy chief William Wulf says the effort will "move ahead smartly," with a report due "as soon as possible."He's already recruited a lead staffer--former Congressional Research Service terrorism expert Raphael Perl, and expects to announce panel members soon. "We hope to convey to the public in a nonalarming way what the threats are and what we might do to protect ourselves," he says. Wulf promises that the homeland defense study will be just the first of several efforts mounted by the U.S. National Academies to "mobilize our immense intellectual resources on this issue."
