FBI RESPONDS
TO THE FINAL REPORT ON THE 9/11 COMMISSON RECOMMENDATIONS
Washington, D.C. - FBI
Assistant Director John Miller today issued the following statement regarding
the 9/11 Commission Final Report:
"In the past four
years since September 11th, the pace of the FBI's change has been sweeping
and continuous. The FBI has institutionalized our counterterrorism posture
by making counterterrorism our overriding priority, shifting resources, and
executing an intelligence-driven coordinated national strategy. We have changed
the way we measure performance of agents and programs to encourage intelligence
work and information sharing. We created the Directorate of Intelligence
to drive and coordinate intelligence work across the FBI and the US Intelligence
Community, built a cadre of well-qualified analysts, established a dedicated
intelligence element in every FBI field office, and increased both intelligence
production and the development of counterterrorism sources. We agree that
more remains to be done, and we have created the National Security Branch,
which is implementing fundamental changes across our business practices and
operational missions that will not only maintain, but accelerate the pace
of our transformation.
The FBI is responsive
to the leadership of the DNI and has been operating in coordination with
the Intelligence Community, playing a critical role in the National Counterterrorism
Center and conducting terrorism finance investigations."
