It contains one file of 39.3 MB dated 7/24/2008. The file is titled LANL DOD Capabilities. It contains one 25 vugraph (color) presentation entitled Department of Defense Programs at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Houston T. Hawkins was a Senior Fellow at the Laboratory and was the Director of LANL Defense Programs. This is a general overview. The CD has written on it UNCLAS. ADC reviewed. As an example of the content, slide 9 addressed Nuclear Weapon Effects on Advanced Materials/Systems. This is an extraordinary snapshot in time describing the range and some of the depth of the Department of Defense funded activities at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. While the vugraphs are not accompanied by what would certainly have been Dr. Hawkins lively, classified narration, they remain very information as a stand-alone static presentation. Houston T. “Terry” Hawkins is a Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Senior Fellow and currently is the Chief Scientist, Principal Associate Directorate for Global Security (PADGS/LANL). Terry previously was the Director of the LANL Department of Defense Programs in the Office of the Associate Director for Threat Reduction. Terry has provided exemplary leadership during situations involving significant technical challenges and dynamic change. Throughout his career, Terry has led major technical programs aimed at assessing, detecting, preventing and reversing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the use of those weapons by international terrorists. This leadership included his exemplary management of the Nonproliferation and International Security Division (NIS) at Los Alamos. In five years, he doubled the NIS programmatic portfolio ($150M to $270M), led the construction of the new NIS Center, had five R&D 100 Awards, received a LANL Distinguished Business Management Award, and five consecutive “outstanding” ratings from external review panels. He also established a scholarship program using royalties that accrued to NIS. Condition: Very good.
