"...an IT system that provides our Center [NBIC] the visibility into over 300-plus unclassified sources of biosurveillance information from across multiple sources. This information is aggregated with various reports that we receive from the departments of Defense, State, Health and Human Services, Agriculture, and Transportation and other sources. Our relationship and integration of such valuable sources, such as ARGUS is firmly established within NODS". (DHS, Testimony of Dr. Kimothy Smith ....NBIC..., 4Oct2007)
