Rumsfeld: Well, the Office of Management and Budget, has come up
come up with a number that's something under $50 billion for the cost.
How much of that would be the U.S. burden, and how much would be other
countries, is an open question. I think the way to put it into
perspective is that the estimates as to what September 11th cost the
United States of America ranges high up into the hundreds of billions
of dollars. Now, another event in the United States that was like
September 11th, and which cost thousands of lives, but one that
involved a -- for example, a biological weapon, would be -- have a cost
in human life, as well as in billions, hundreds of billions of dollars,
that would be vastly greater," - January 19, 2003.
