2 The Coat of Arms The over-all theme of the shield reflects a commitment to the establishment of "ground truth" in support of the international community. In the upper left quadrant is the candle and saucer of knowledge, on a gold field. The upper right quadrant is the compass rose on a blue field. The gold field represents the utility of open sources as a vehicle for "shedding light" on national security and national competitiveness issues in much broader terms than traditionally understood. In particular, open sources can "shed light" on non-traditional topics for which existing national intelligence capabilities are unsuited. The blue field emphasizes the importance of the maritime heritage in navigating uncharted waters, and of the environment. The lower half, divided from upper left to lower right by a "checkerboard" pattern representative of The Great Game, contains three roses with thorns and the Chinese symbol for revolution ("fire in the lake") on the left, and the red lion on the right. The roses and their thorns represent the opportunities as well as the dangers associated with intelligence support to policy initiatives in each of the three "worlds" - the First World and its allies, the Second World including Russia and the Balkans, and the Third World, with its very broad range of nations and problems. The character for revolution symbolizes not only the revolution in relationships between elements of the three worlds, but also the revolution in the processes and priorities of strategic as well as tactical intelligence, and the forthcoming revolution in the relationship between the intelligence and the information communities, and between the producers and consumers of intelligence. The red lion symbolizes the role of power projection as the raison d'etre for intelligence--actionable intelligence. The motto, "E VERITATE POTENS" ("From Truth, Power" or literally, "one is made powerful through truth") reflects the belief that power applied with knowledge, and tools of power developed in the context of specific threats, will be more successful and less costly to the Nation than power applied blindly, or capabilities designed and funded without reference to the actual threat or circumstances. As we all strive to redefine national security and improve national competitiveness, open sources will play an extraordinarily important role in nurturing both a sense of security and the reality of prosperity for the community of nations, tribes, enterprises, and citizens.

KROLL With Appreciation Now, in this fourth year as a non-profit manager, as I continue to learn about the vagaries of survival in the unforgiving world of private enterprise, my admiration for the successful business represented on our exhibits floor continues to grow. They are not only providing all governments and corporations with unique open sources, systems, and services, but they are creating wealth and knowledge for all those associated with them. We are especially appreciative to our Corporate Sponsors and Supporting Organizations, whose support early each year is the foundation for our educational endeavors. Robert D.
