Conclusions
It appears prudent to further examine this class of software and the ramifications of its use. Dr. Brown presented convincing evidence that such propagative effects can bypass existing pro-tective mechanisms in sensitive data processing environments. There is indeed reason to believe that software of this nature might have certain offensive military applications. Dr. Brown used the term ‘Virus’ to describe such classes of software.

After he completed his observations of the conference as a whole, and the seminars in particular, Miles Foster decided to eliminate Dr. Brown’s findings from the final submission to his superiors. He wasn’t sure why he left it out, it just seemed like the right thing to do.
