            PROJECT DESCIPTION: THE ECONOMICS OF NATIONAL SECURITY

The  Economics  of National Security Project has been formed to investigate the
impact of defense spending on the U.S. economy, both  in  the  short  and  long
term, with a focus on Santa Clara Valley.

The Project has two main goals:

   - Produce  and  disseminate comprehensive information about the effects
     of military spending on the economy of Santa Clara County.

   - Develop an informed advisory group to serve as  a  reliable  resource
     for  business, academic and government decision-makers concerned with
     the economic effects of defense spending.

Specific questions the Project will address:

   - What is the nature and extent of defense-related  spending  in  Santa
     Clara County?

   - What  are  likely to be the effects in Santa Clara County in terms of
     employment, business development, provision of  social  services  and
     over-all economic vitality?

   - How  is  the  long-term  development  of the high technology industry
     affected  by  spending  for  defense  products   vs.   spending   for
     non-defense products?

   - What  strategies  are  available  to  the  county through private and
     public channels to ensure long-term economic vigor?

   - How do high levels of defense spending alter the competitive position
     of the U.S.? How should the nation's security interests be pursued so
     that both economic and military effectiveness are maximized?

The intention of the project is to develop a process of ongoing evaluation  and
dissemination  of  information  about  the  impact  of military spending on the
economy. The project will promote broadened public  involvement  through  media
activity, public forums, workshops and published reports.

The conference is an early step toward realizing the goals of this project.
