Abstract
Jacobson and Rosenberg comment on aspects of the U.S. Army's Biological Defense Research Program and propose shifting some responsibility for biological defense research to a civilian agency such as the National Institutes of Health. They call for more openness in the conduct of such research, and report on Congressional efforts to reinforce the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention. Finally, they suggest ways in which physicians can be sure that research on biological agents is conducted safely and appropriately and can work to decrease the threat of a biological arms race.
