Testimony of Philip B. Heymann before the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States Chairman Kean, Vice-Chair Hamilton, Members of the Commission:

Thank you for my invitation to appear on this panel. I will try to address the three questions presented by the Commission in the order in which they were presented using I

some of the charts from my new book Terrorism, Freedom and Security: Winning Without War.

I. POWERS BEFORE 9/11/01 You first asked about my assessment of the government's authority before September 11, 2001 to collect intelligence, and, more broadly, the adequacy of its authority to defend the country against terrorism.

A.

Intelligence Collection Authority

To detect the traces of any activity - in this case the initial stages of preparing for a terrorist attack on the United States - intelligence or law enforcement agents have available only a limited set of steps even in an undemocratic political system. Starting with that broadest set allows us to then turn to which, if any, of these steps was unnecessarily forbidden or limited in the United States before September 11th. A list of all possible steps would include these ten prominently:

1. They may interview willing witnesses. 2. They may offer rewards including reduced punishment for information.

Markle Foundation Task Force Says FBI Should Not Be Lead Agency For Domestic Information to Prevent Terrorism; Report Calls for National Network of Information Sharing According to Guidelines October 7, 2002 - Washington, DC -- A new report released today by the Markle Foundation Task Force on National Security in the Information Age recommends that a new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rather than the FBI should take the lead in shaping domestic information and intelligence priorities to inform policymakers. The report calls for a networked information technology system that effectively shares information among local, state, regional and federal agencies and the private sector, and sets forth a blueprint for how such a system can be established under a set of Presidential guidelines. "Today's information technology allows us to use the power of widely distributed information to protect Americans against terrorist threats," Task Force co-chairs Zoe Baird and James Barksdale said. "America will make a mistake if we create a centralized 'mainframe' information architecture focused on the nation's capital when the intelligence and other information critical to homeland security need to be shared and coordinated across the country and around the world." As the 9/11 stories illustrate, most information gathering is done by people who are far removed from Washington. The people on the frontlines are at the local level: the police officer hearing a complaint from a landlord; an airport official who hears about a plane a pilot trainee left on a runway; an FBI agent puzzled by an odd flight school student in Arizona;, or an emergency room resident treating a strange ailment. The report argues that

TESTIMONY OF JAMES B. STEINBERG, VICE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF FOREIGN POLICY STUDIES, THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION,

SENATE GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

'CONSOLIDATING INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS: A REVIEW OF THE PRESIDENT'S PROPOSAL TO CREATE A TERRORIST THREAT INTEGRATION CENTER".

FEBRUARY 14, 2003

Good Morning, Madame Chairwoman, and members of the Committee. My name is James Steinberg and I am Vice President and Director of the Foreign Policy Studies Program at the Brookings Institution. Prior to coming to Brookings, I served for four years as Deputy National Security Advisor under President Clinton, and Director of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff.

Today this Committee is considering perhaps the single most important issue in the fight against terrorism - how best to mobilize information and intelligence to protect our security.

The Joint House Senate Inquiry into the September 11 attacks vividly illustrates the crucial challenges that we as a nation face. In particular, their report found that "the US government does not presently bring together in one place all terrorism-related information from all sources. While the CTC [Counter-Terrorism Center] does manage overseas operations and has access to most Intelligence Community information, it does not collect terrorism-related information from all sources, domestic and foreign. Within the Intelligence Community, agencies did not adequately share relevant counterterrorism information."

James Steinberg is Vice President and Director of the Foreign Policy Studies program at the Brookings Institution. The program seeks to meet the challenges posed by 21st century globalization and to inform and shape the policy debate in the United States and abroad. In addition to supervising a wideranging research program on U.S. foreign policy, Steinberg is a contributing writer to Protecting the Homeland, a book by a team of Brookings scholars that offers a four-tier plan to defend the U.S. from terrorist attacks. He is also a member of the Commission on National Security in the Information Age. Previously, Steinberg was Senior Advisor to the Markle Foundation, a non-profit organization seeking to realize the full potential of communications media and information technology to improve people's lives. Steinberg held several senior positions in the Clinton Administration, including Deputy National Security Advisor to the President. His responsibilities covered the full range of issues in international economics and national security, including U.S.-Japan relations, U.S.European political, economic and security issues, and the Middle East. He was one of the key architects of President Clinton's policy toward China. At the lecture podium, Steinberg is an expert on the changing face of the global political and economic environment. He examines the impact that broad changes in the global landscape have on business and the economy at home. With the current conflict in the Middle East and the looming threat of terror attacks in the U.S., Steinberg also offers a uniquely informed program for protecting the United States and its interests abroad. In addition, Steinberg discusses new and innovative strategies for global governance, national security and public policy brought about by globalization and emerging technologies. He addresses the need for a partnership between the public and private sectors to tackle the complex public policy issues created by the Internet, including the appropriate limits of regulation, privacy and cyber security.

James Steinberg: Afghanistan update and India, Pakistan conflict James Steinberg served as Deputy National Security Adviser during the Clinton Administration. Now the head of Foreign Policy Studies at Brookings Institution, a think tank in Washington, DC., Steinberg has held positions at the U.S. State Department, The Markle Foundation, the Rand Corporation and the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Steinberg served as national security counsel to Senator Edward Kennedy, and is the author of "An Ever Closer Union: European Integration and Its Implications for the Future of U.S.-European Relations." The opinions expressed in this transcript are those of James Steinberg, and are not necessarily shared by CNN. CNN: Welcome once again to CNN.com Newsroom, James Steinberg. Thank you for being with us today. JAMES STEINBERG: Glad to be back. I look forward to your questions. CNN: With the new interim government in Afghanistan now in place, what role will the US and the coalition play in ensuring that government's success during the next six months? STEINBERG: There are many important questions that remain about the role that the United States and the international community will play. The U.S. continues to focus on tracking down any remaining al Qaeda and Taliban leaders in Afghanistan, and that means that the U.S. will maintain some significant military forces for this role for the forseeable future. At the same time, the international community, under the leadership of Great Britain, is beginning to deploy a modest size stabilization force to help with security in the Kabul area, and the task force may be extended to other parts of the country in the future. The other dimension of the international effort will be on humanitarian assistance and reconstruction. This is an enormous task, as there are millions of displaced Afghanis who will need help with food and shelter in the coming months, and a long term reconstruction effort that could cost upwards of $20 billion over the next five to 10 years. It remains uncertain just what share of that funding the United States is prepared to commit. Finally, there is an important role that the government in the region can play by resisting the temptation, which has been all too prevalent in the past, to intervene in Afghanistan in support of factions there who are sympathetic to the interests of one or another of the neighboring states. CHAT PARTICIPANT: Should the U.S. be concerned with the increase of tensions between India and Pakistan and work for a solution to Kashmir? STEINBERG: The escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan is extremely worrying. The latest round, of course, was triggered by a terrorist attack on the Indian Parliament, which but for an accident of timing, could have had much more serious consequences in terms of possible injuries to very senior Indian officials.

A fiction shattered by America's aggression The U.S. in the world By William Pfaff (IHT) Saturday, November 1, 2003

PORTO, Portugal: More than nine months into the Iraq crisis, meetings between W Europeans and Americans of goodwill remain strained nondialogues in which most American participants find it hard to admit that the catastrophic loss of America's res abroad has anything to do with them. Such a meeting in this old port city last weekend produced the usual American citat scandalous incidents of foreign anti-Americanism. The German Marshall Fund statistics were circulated, showing that the gap betweei and European attitudes is widening and that Europeans increasingly disapprove o f , position as the sole superpower. The Americans' response is nearly always that there must have been some failure i communication. Perhaps the United States should "consult" more, they say. "It's as if they can't hear," said an Irishman who had thought of himself as one of Art friends abroad. But every nation has a story - a narrative it tells to explain its place in the flow of his give meaning to its actions.
