国会记录：2002年6月19日（参议院）Page S5774-S5780关于引入Feinstein夫人的账单：2645。一项将国家情报署署长作为情报界，修改和加强的条例草案与情报和情报界有关的当局和职责，以及其他目的;到智力选择委员会。菲因斯坦太太。主席先生，我今天上升了，提供了2002年的情报社区领导法案。本立法创造了国家情报署署长的立场，以引领真正的情报界，并协调我们的智力和反恐工作，并帮助确保这种情况在9月11日之前，预防我们智力界的各种元素的沟通问题永远不会再发生在一起。虽然这项法案肯定不会解决情报界内的每个问题，但我认为这是让我们的智力房屋成为必要的第一步。1947年，1947年的国家安全法案创造了我们冷战时代国家安全装置的大部分，创建了中央情报局的主任和中央情报总监，其中CIA是一个组成部分，作为两个职位一个人。作为中央情报局主任，该职位的人是该机构的首席执行官，负责收集人类智力，集中分析美国政府收集的所有情报，并进行隐秘行动。 As head of the intelligence community, which also includes the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, National Imagery and Mapping Agency, and the intelligence-gathering elements of the FBI, as well as others, this person is responsible for coordinating a multitude of agencies and harnessing their efforts to secure the overall needs of U.S. national security. Although this structure served as well enough in the cold war, it is, in my view, far from perfect, and, put [[Page S5775]] bluntly, I do not believe that giving both jobs to one person makes sense. Moreover, just as the particular needs of the superpower rivalry of the cold war drove the national security structure and apparatus put into place by the National Security Act of 1947, so, too, should the intelligence and anti-terrorism challenges that our country now faces in the post-9-11 world drive the creation of new national security structures adequate to the new challenge. The President, in proposing the creation of the Department of Homeland Security has addressed part of this challenge. But the administration's plan does not do enough to address the need to better coordinate our intelligence and anti-terrorism efforts. To start to address these problems the Intelligence Community Leadership Act of 2002 splits the current position of Director of Central Intelligence, currently held by one individual, who is tasked with running the CIA and the intelligence community as a whole, into two positions: a Director of National Intelligence, DNI, to lead the Intelligence Community and a Director of the Central Intelligence Agency to run the CIA. It may appear somewhat paradoxical to argue that in order to assure closer and better coordination within and across our intelligence community the current position of the Director of Central Intelligence should be split, but this is, in fact, the case. As a practical matter, the demands of these two full time jobs on the time and attention of any person, no matter how skilled in management, are overwhelming. Indeed, running the intelligence community and running the CIA are both important enough to be full time jobs. That was true before September 11, and it is especially true after September 11. Even if one person could handle both jobs and reconcile the inherent conflicts, there would remain the perception that he or she is favoring either the community or the Agency. That is not a formula which is well-suited to lead to a seamless and fully integrated intelligence community providing optimum analytic product to national decision makers or assuring that critical intelligence missions are properly allocated and resourced. Specifically, then, this legislation would create the new position of Director of National Intelligence, DNI, a new independent head of the intelligence community with the proper and necessary authority to coordinate activities, direct priorities, and create the budget for our nation's national intelligence community. The DNI would be responsible for all of the functions now performed by the Director of Central Intelligence in his role as head of the intelligence community, a separate individual would be Director of the CIA. Nominated by the President, confirmed by the Senate, and serving a ten-year term, the DNI would be insulated from the vagaries of politics and specifically empowered to create the national intelligence budget in conjunction with the various intelligence agencies within our government. The DNI would be able to transfer personnel and funds between intelligence agencies as necessary to carry out the core functions of the intelligence community, without the need to seek permission from individual agency heads. The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, DCIA, freed from the double burden as head of the intelligence community, would then be able to concentrate on the critical missions of the CIA alone: Assure the collection of intelligence from human sources, and that intelligence is properly correlated, evaluated, and disseminated throughout the intelligence community and to decision makers. The critical policy and resource decisions of the President's proposed Department of Homeland Defense will only be as good as the intelligence which informs those decisions. Whatever the other preliminary lessons we may draw from the ongoing inquiry into the September 11 attacks, one thing is perfectly clear: we need to better coordinate our intelligence and anti-terrorism efforts. If the new Department, and the President and Members of Congress, are going to be able to get the sort of intelligence we need to both safeguard our citizens and protect American national security interests, we need to address the structural problems that exist today with our intelligence community. I believe a first step in finding a solution to this problem is relatively simple, enact legislation that would require the head of the intelligence community and the head of the CIA to be two different people. That is what this legislation would do, and I urge my colleagues to join me both on this legislation, and in considering other reforms which may also be necessary to reformulate of intelligence community to meet the challenges of the new era. ______
