TEAM #2 WORKPLAN FOR INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT Set forth below is a proposed workplan for assessing the IC's management related to the 9/11 attacks. "Counterterrorism" is defined as the IC's conduct of collection, analysis, reporting, warning, and covert action concerning terrorism. I. Key Questions Regarding 1C Management. A. Pre-9/20. • How did senior Administration officials (e.g., the President, Vice President, and National Security Advisor) exercise leadership and conduct oversight of the 1C concerning Counterterrorism? • How did the DCI manage the 1C to Counterterrorism? If not, did such ineffectiveness stem from insufficient legal authorities, timidity in exploiting available authorities, personal negligence, or other reasons? • How did the Secretary of Defense manage Department of Defense intelligence assets in order to counter terrorism? How did the fact that many 1C components reside within the Department of Defense affect the IC's conduct of Counterterrorism? • How did the individual 1C program managers lead their respective agencies in countering the terrorist threat? • Was the IC's conduct of Counterterrorism obstructed by any of the following factors: (a) particular organizational structures, policies, procedures, or decisions; (b) organizational culture or certain management practices; or (c) specific personal failures? B. Post-9/20. • How should senior Administration officials exercise effective leadership and oversight of the 1C concerning Counterterrorism? • Does the DCI need strengthened legal authorities or other enhancements in order to manage the 1C effectively to counter terrorism? • How should U.S. intelligence capabilities be allocated between the 1C and the Department of Defense? • Do the individual program managers need to improve their leadership of their respective agencies in order to counter the terrorist threat, and if so, how? • Is the IC's management adequate for the 1C to counter 21st Century threats such as terrorism? If not, what remedies are needed in (a) management structure, policies, or procedures, or (b) organizational culture or management practices? n. Sources Of Information. A. • • •
