The Defense Science Board (DSB) has posted a new report.
The report on "Mission Impact of Foreign Influence on DoD Software can be found at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dsb/reports/2007-09-Mission_Impact_of_Foreign_Inf
luence_on_DoD_Software.pdf.
According to the memorandum of endorsement by Dr. Schneider, this report "was established to complement the 2005 DSB study on High Performance Microchip Supply which focused on the implications of semiconductor fabrication in foreign countries. The task force found that the DoD faces similar consequences from the possible exploitation of software, increasingly developed outside of the United States, it its systems."
The 2005 report can be found at

If you have trouble with the link wrapping go to http://www.acq.osd.mil/dsb/reports.htm and you can retrieve both from there.
