Giving the Warfighter the Tools for Giving the Warfighter the Tools for Counterterrorism: Statistically Speaking Counterterrorism: Statistically Speaking
Dr. Nancy L. SpruillDr. Nancy L. Spruill Director, Acquisition Resources & Analysis
Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, & Logistics)
The long-range contribution of statistics depends not so much upon getting a lot of highly trained statisticians into industry as it does in creating a statistically minded generation of physicists, chemists, engineers, and others who will in any way have a hand in developing and directing the production processes of tomorrow. - W.A.Shewhart & W.E.Deming
