The NBACC was established in 2002 and publicly unveiled in detail in a 28 April 2004 press conference with HHS Secretary Thompson, DHS Secretary Ridge, and DOD Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. This description of the NBACC and its controversial proposed activities was briefly placed on the website of the US Armed Forces Pest Management Board, following a presentation about NBACC to a military entomology conference in February2004. The file was removed from the military website on or about 23 April 2004, when it came to the attention of arms control organizations. Notes in the original Powerpoint file indicate that this version of the presentation, made by Lt. Col George Korch, was originally prepared for Major General Lawlor, Commander, Joint Task Force Civil Support, U.S. Joint Forces Command. The notes, which are not reproduced in the PDF file
