Improving Terrorism Warnings - The Homeland Security System

Abstract

In accordance with its statutory mandate, the Advisory Panel delivered its Fifth Annual Report to the President and the Congress (the Fifth Report ) on December 15, 2003. The strategic vision, themes, and recommendations in that report were motivated by the unanimous view of the panel that its final report should attempt to define a future state of security against terrorism one that the panel chose to call "America's New Normalcy." The report attempts to project a future five-year equilibrium state of well-established and sustained measures to combat terrorism. It focuses on conceptualizing a strategic vision for the nation that, in the future, has achieved in both appearance and reality an acceptable level of capabilities to cope with the uncertain and ambiguous threat of terrorism as part of dealing with all hazards. The report also makes specific findings and recommendations on process and structure that must be addressed to move from general strategies to specific accomplishments including the issue under review today by this subcommittee.
