“The Department of Homeland Security, in its first two years of existence, has established a comprehensive system to distribute threat information to state and local and law enforcement officials throughout the country so we are better able to protect our communities and the homeland.
Although these efforts have made America safer, we welcome the Report of the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction and look forward to reviewing its recommendations.
This month we initiated a complete review of the Department in an effort to ensure we are best organized to manage the threats we face, our vulnerabilities and the consequence of terrorist actions. While we consider the future form and function of DHS, this report will serve as another tool to guide our decision-making to better manage risk, enhance our detection capabilities and improve our intelligence analysis. The Department supplies, consumes, analyzes, and distributes intelligence information, and we are always seeking new ways to apply intelligence to our vulnerabilities to make the homeland more secure.”
