| Abstract: | Author regards the role of American companies in fighting terrorism. Business participates in the struggle against terrorism in many ways: helping cut off the flow of money to terrorist groups, producing anti- terrorist equipment, screening employees and visitors entering company facilities, manufacturing the medicines to respond to biological and chemical attacks, and making the weapons used by our armed forces in the fight. Nevertheless, such responses raise the cost of production and act like a new tax on private enterprise. On balance, however, the economic power of American business plays a key role in the national response to terrorism. |
