They will describe some recent progress toward greater awareness of new threats and closer public private cooperation to prevent loss of life and property. But the nascent effort faces significant challenges coming to grips with the dynamic, multidimensional, interconnected problems of economic espionage, cybercrime and fanatical terrorism that ignore old rules and old boundaries. Many corporations are reluctant to report extortion and kidnapping, calculating the costs of official entanglements and attendant publicity to be higher than the ransom. Definitional and jurisdictional barriers can impede the flow of information and fragment Federal efforts to help. Kidnapping and ransom insurance premiums should not be a routine cost of doing business abroad. A U. S. passport should not mark our citizens as targets. We look to our witnesses today to help us understand how national security policies and programs to counter terrorism can operate more effectively to protect American lives and property abroad.
