Testimony of Philip B. Heymann before the National Commission on TerroristAttacks 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 threequestions presented by the Commission in the order in which they were presented using

Isome of the charts from my new book Terrorism, F reedom and Security: WinningWithout War.

I. POWERS BEFORE 9/11/01You 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 defendthe country against terrorism.

A. Intelligence Collection AuthorityTo detect the traces of any activity - in this case the initial stages of preparing for aterrorist attack on the United States - intelligence or law enforcement agents haveavailable only a limited set of steps even in an undemocratic political system. Startingwith that broadest set allows us to then turn to which, if any, of these steps wasunnecessarily 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 DomesticInformation to Prevent Terrorism; Report Calls for National Network ofInformation Sharing According to GuidelinesOctober 7, 2002 - Washington, DC -- A new report released today by theMarkle Foundation Task Force on National Security in the Information Agerecommends that a new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rather than theFBI should take the lead in shaping domestic information and intelligencepriorities to inform policymakers.The report calls for a networked information technology system thateffectively shares information among local, state, regional and federalagencies and the private sector, and sets forth a blueprint for how such asystem can be established under a set of Presidential guidelines."Today's information technology allows us to use the power of widelydistributed information to protect Americans against terrorist threats,"Task Force co-chairs Zoe Baird and James Barksdale said. "America will makea mistake if we create a centralized 'mainframe' information architecturefocused on the nation's capital when the intelligence and other informationcritical to homeland security need to be shared and coordinated across thecountry and around the world."As the 9/11 stories illustrate, most information gathering is done by peoplewho are far removed from Washington. The people on the frontlines are at thelocal level: the police officer hearing a complaint from a landlord; anairport 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 anemergency room resident treating a strange ailment. The report argues that

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

SENATE GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

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

FEBRUARY 14, 2003

Good Morning, Madame Chairwoman, and members of the Committee. My name is JamesSteinberg and I am Vice President and Director of the Foreign Policy Studies Program atthe Brookings Institution. Prior to coming to Brookings, I served fo r four years as DeputyNational Security Advisor under President Clinton, and Director of the State Department'sPolicy Planning Staff.

Today this Committee is considering perhaps the single most important issue in the fightagainst terrorism - howbest to mobilize information and intelligence to protect oursecurity.

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

James Steinberg served as Deputy National Security Adviser duringthe Clinton Adm inistration. No w the head of Foreign Policy Studies at Brookings Institution, a thinktank in Washington, D C., Steinberg has held p ositions at the U.S. State Department, T he MarkleFoundation, the Rand Corporation and the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Steinbergserved as national security counsel to Senator Edward K ennedy, and is the author of "An Ever CloserUnion: European Integration and Its Implications for the Future of U.S.-European Relations." Theopinions expressed in this transcript are those of James Steinberg, an d are not necessarily shared byCNN.CNN : Welcom e once again to CNN.com N ewsroom , James Steinberg. Thank you for being with us today.JAM ES ST EINBE RG: 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 coalitionplay in ensuring that government's success during the next six months?STEINBERG: There are man y im portant questions that remain about the role that the United States and theinternational co mm unity will play. The U.S. continues to focus on tracking dow n any remaining al Qaeda andTaliban leaders in Afghanistan, an d that means that the U.S. will maintain some significant military forces forthis role for the forseeable future. At the same time, the international community, under the leadership of GreatBritain, is beginn ing to deploy a m odest size stabilization force to help with security in the K abul area, and thetask force may be extended to other parts of the country in the future.The other dimension of the international effort will be on hum anitarian assistance and reconstruction. T his isan enorm ous task, as there are m illions of displaced Afghan is who will need h elp with food and shelter in thecoming m onths, and a long term reconstruction effort that could cost upwards o f $20 billion over the next fiveto 10 years. It remains uncertain just what share of that funding the United States is prepared to commit.Finally, there is an im portant role that the governm ent in the region can play by resisting the temptation, w hichhas been all too prevalent in the past, to intervene in Afgh anistan in support of factions there who aresym pathetic to the interests of one o r another of the neighboring states.CHAT PA RTICIPANT: Should the U.S. be concerned with the increase of tensions between India andPakistan and wo rk for a solution to K ashmir?STEINBERG: Th e escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan is extremely worrying. The latest round,of course, was triggered by a terrorist attack on the Indian Parliamen t, 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 aggressionThe U.S. in the worldBy William Pfaff (IHT)Saturday, November 1, 2003PORTO, Portugal: More than nine months into the Iraq crisis, meetings between WEuropeans and Americans of goodwill remain strained n ondialogues in which mostAmerican participants f ind it hard to admit that the catastrophic loss of America's r e sabroad ha s anything to do with them.Such a meeting in this old port city last weekend produced the usual American citatscandalous incidents of foreign an ti-American ism.The German Marshall Fund statistics were circulated, showing that the ga p betweeiand European attitudes is widening and that Europeans increasingly disapprove of,position as the sole superpow er.The Americans' response is nearly always that there must have been some failure icommunication. 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 Artfriends abroad.But every n ation has a story - a narrative it tells to explain its place in the flow of hisgive meaning to its actions.
