Secrecy and Human Capital Management in US NSA and Israel Unit 8200
LOOSE LIPS BUILD SHIPS? Secrecy and Human Capital Management in US NSA and Israel Unit 8200 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE INTERSCHOOL HONORS PROGRAM IN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY STUDIES CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY AND COOPERATION FREEMAN SPOGLI INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES STANFORD UNIVERSITY By: Lisa Catherine Wallace June 2014 Advisors: Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar Colonel Joseph Felter Abstract ! How do intelligence organizations attract and make use of top talent? This paper approaches this question through a comparative case study of the labor ecosystems surrounding both the US’ National Security Agency and IDF’s signals intelligence branch, Unit 8200. As the cyber realm continues to assume a growing role in modern national security threat environments, intelligence organizations must grow and adapt to accommodate these new objectives. This inevitably involves the question of how to attract and make use of top talent in order to solve difficult and highly technical national security problems. Israel and the United States share similar national security interests, and both possess burgeoning and impressive high-technology clusters. This paper claims that a growing, public network of Unit 8200 and other Intelligence Corps alumni is extant in Israel’s high-technology sector. Furthermore, affiliation with Unit 8200 has a positive signaling and social capital value. By contrast, this paper argues that alumni from the NSA do not possess as strong of a signaling or social capital value in the US. This paper argues that the NSA is hindered by the ontology, secrecy, and culture of the organization itself, as well as US public understanding of national security organizations and cyber threats. -

Screening for Highly Active Plasmid Promoters via Fusion to /?-Galactosidase Gene Arie Rosner, Marian Gorecki *, and Haim Aviv Departments of Virology and Organic Chemistry*, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, 76100 Z. Naturforsch. 37 c, 441 —444 (1982); received January 13, 1982 Plasmid Promoter, /?-Galactosidase Gene, Escherichia coli A plasmid containing promoter-deleted inactive /?-galactosidase gene [1] was used to select promoters of the pEP121 plasmid [2]. Colonies of cells harboring reactivated /?-galactosidase gene were identified by their red color on McConkey plates. The quantitative amounts of /?-galactosidase produced in each clone were estimated by assaying enzyme activity and by measuring the specific /?-galactosidase protein following fractionation of total cells’ proteins on polyacrylamide gel. A wide range of enzyme activities was observed. The most active promoter isolated was shown to promote /?-galactosidase production more efficiently, compared with the original /?-galactosidase promoter, amounting to 20% of all cell proteins. Such highly active promoters may be utilized in the future, to promote expression of cloned genes in bacteria. Introduction gene and E. coli strain MC 1061, restriction minus, deleted in the lactoase operon [1] were received It was previously shown that bacterial promoters from Dr. M. J. Casadaban and given to us by Dr. M. can promote expression of foreign genes in bacteria Mevorach. [3, 4]. The amount of protein produced depends Preparation of plasmid: Extraction of plasmid mainly on the activity of the promoter itself. The DNA was performed according to Betlach et al. [5]. isolation and molecular manipulation of bacterial Transformation of cells with plasmid DNA was promoters became, therefore, of prime interest in carried out as described by Cohen et al. -
