al-udaba' al-kiram,

I remember reading that Arabic is one of the five world languages
most critical to USA security. Was this officially stated in a
government document? Where can I get the reference for this? I
need these info to support
the 'survival' of Arabic programmes in Malaysian public universities
(sort of 'making the case...' stuff).and to plan its directions.
