The work represents an initial step toward the type of information sharing and cooperation that is consistently described as essential for the homeland security mission. UPDATE: General Dyanmics Corp. and Veridian have signed an agreement June 9 for Veridian to be purchased by General Dynamics for $1.5 billion. The deal is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2003. |
