==Building program inferences==

The necessity for a building program was due to the threat factors towards the United States diplomatic facilities in other countries. The program implements an increase in basic security standards to protect against terrorism. The Panel was able to draw some general conclusions based on the concern of these threats:
*The United States must have complete '''control''' of their facilities overseas
*To avoid penetration and assault, the '''location''' of these buildings is of great importance. It is no longer an asset to be on the busiest, more popular street
*It is equally important to consider the '''collocation''' of these buildings as occupants whom the United States doesn't control or choose can pose a risk
*Modern electronic and audio technology can make it hard to safeguard important information; therefore, '''proximity''' to other buildings plays a key factor
*Many buildings cannot be upgraded so '''age, architecture, and the design''' of the building are a concern for the ability to defend penetration and assault
*The old approach to business must be overturned to promote a '''new approach''' for overseas construction and '''adequate funding''' for the program

While it is not certain that the terrorist attacks will diminish entirely, preventative inferences can be taken to reduce the risk of harm by updating and/or relocating those buildings.
