Unclassified/Commission Sensitive Team 2 Workplan for Intelligence Community Management This memorandum sets forth Team 2's workplan concerning management of, resources for, and Congressional oversight of the Intelligence Community (1C) relating to the 9/11 attacks and the prevention of future attacks. Key Questions Management • Did senior Administration officials effectively manage the 1C concerning counterterrorism; if not, why? • Did the DCI effectively manage the 1C concerning counterterrorism; if not, did such ineffectiveness stem from insufficient legal authorities, inadequate management practices, organizational culture, or other reasons? • Does preventing future terrorist attacks require changes in the IC's management, and if so, what changes? Resources • Did the 1C receive sufficient resources for counterterrorism before 9/11? • How did the 1C utilize the resources it did receive prior to 9/11 for counterterrorism? • Does preventing future terrorist attacks require changing the IC's resource allocation levels or process?
