国会记录：2004年7月13日（参议院）Page S7951-S7952情报委员会洛特先生委员会的报告。主席先生，关于智力选择委员会报告，我再次强调，这是一项一致的两分票。情报界有问题。在我们在伊拉克战争之前，我们没有得到我们所需要的。它是有缺陷和误导性和不准确的。我们应该承认这一点。但现在所有的努力都要找到解决政治责任的方法是一个错误。我们应该共同努力产生结果。这就是为什么我在一些提案上与加利福尼亚州的参议员Feinstein合作。这就是为什么我在一些提案上与参议员Wyden合作。我们剩下1分钟吗？ Mr. REID. Mr. President, I am happy to not object, but Senator Lautenberg was on the floor this morning and asked for an additional 5 minutes, and it was objected to. Mr. LOTT. I think I have 1 minute left. Mr. REID. I was just waiting for an opportunity to say what I just said. Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, we need to find a way to deal with the problem. The point I want to make is, Congress is now like somebody that has been at the scene of an accident. We saw it happen, but now we are pretending we weren't there. Congress is a part of this problem. For 20 years we have underfunded, we have limited human intelligence. We have improperly funded the intelligence community. We have allowed a situation where 80 percent of the money for the intelligence community is under the Department of Defense, not the CIA. Let me give some numbers. During the 1990s, the number of CIA stations declined by 30 percent. The number of agents declined by 40 percent. The volume of intelligence reports decreased by 50 percent. The intelligence community connected the dots, and got it wrong. It was not just our intelligence community that got it wrong--there was a global breakdown in intelligence analysis. The report is not an indictment of the hard-working and dedicated men and women who put their lives on the line, and are charged with connecting the dots. It is a criticism of the process and community at large, and demonstrative of a lack of leadership, oversight, and insufficient investment. The breakdown in intelligence capability evolved over several years. It was recognized in 1976 by a 5-volume report by the Church committee. Our intelligence gathering and analysis capability--especially human intelligence and linguists--was gutted in the 20 years that followed, particularly in the 1990s, when the Congress did not adequately fund the intelligence community. President Clinton relied on this same analysis of the Iraqi threat when he signed the Iraqi Liberation Act. The Congress relied on this same intelligence when we passed several resolutions regarding Iraq; President Bush relied on this intelligence when making his decisions as well. Many have asked whether I want to change my vote given today's assessment of pre-war intelligence--I do not. Saddam Hussein was a mass murderer who used weapons of mass destruction on his own people; supported terrorism and trained terrorists; provided ``bonuses'' to the families of terrorists; a destabilizing factor in the Mideast. Let's not play armchair quarterback by asking ``what would have happened if.'' The country would be much better served if the Congress and the President took action as soon as possible to fix the organization, leadership, and oversight problems that we have with our intelligence community. When the American people read the Intelligence Committee's report, they will see some fundamental things that need to be changed in the intelligence community. First and foremost it is evident that the Director of Central Intelligence does not really control all aspects of the intelligence community. In fact, as I have said, 80 percent of intelligence dollars go to the Department of Defense, not the CIA. Moreover, many of people that lead the 15 agencies that comprise the intelligence community work for the Department of Defense, not the Director of Central Intelligence. [[Page S7952]] To fix this problem, Senator Feinstein and I are about to propose legislation that will establish a Director of National Intelligence--or DNI. The DNI will be a Cabinet-level position that will lead the intelligence community, and be responsible for aggregating intelligence for the President. As for the specific processes that cry out for reform, the report focuses on two in particular. One, layering of uncertain conclusions-- judgments were layered upon other judgments, and specific concerns and uncertainties were simply lost; two, group think--because we knew Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, and used them on his people, any data that appeared to support this continued behavior was viewed favorably, and dissenting data was discounted or underreported. Those ``process'' types of deficiencies quickly lead one to ask: How can the intelligence community provide better oversight and supervision of ``expert'' analysts; and how can the Congress provide more effective oversight of the intelligence community? There are clearly process reforms needed within the intelligence community, and Congress's oversight of that community. I know that Chairman Roberts and Vice Chairman Rockefeller, are very concerned that our intelligence community is broken, and are committed to taking action in the coming weeks and month to address many of the most critical deficiencies. With particular regard to congressional oversight, I believe that there are some fundamental things that need to be changed such as term limits of committee members. Currently, members can only serve on the Senate Intelligence Committee for 8 years. That means that when they know enough to be conversant in the intelligence business, they need to rotate off of the committee. We need intelligence committee members who can speak the lingo and understand the processes. Consequently, term limits need to be eliminated. Also, the jurisdiction of the Intelligence Committee regarding classified matter is sometimes muddied due to overlap with the Armed Services Committee. I submit that a simplified approach to jurisdiction could enhance oversight and accountability.还需要审查文档分类和重放的过程。当情报委员会首先准备了这份报告时，CIA建议大约一半的重量。我理解保护来源和智能方法的名称。但我可以告诉你，大多数重量都不是本质;他们是每天，未分类的话语。这报告您今天看到的不到20％的重量，情报委员会仍在与中央情报局合作，释放更多的报告。尽管如此，我认为，在这样的事项中，中央情报局太接近了智力流程，以提供真正需要分类的目标。因此，我正在与参议员Wyden合作提出立法，以建立一个小组在主席下的一个小型独立小组，这将审查本报告等文件，以确保分类决策是独立的和目标。此外，我敦促总统尽快提名候选人作为中央情报署署长。这是我们对抗全球战争的恐怖主义的关键时刻，我们需要尽快在中央情报局有效的领导力。正如我们在修复智力界的进展，我重复我对过道的两侧的呼吁，不要政治化问题或预期补救措施。金博宝正规网址我们欠美国人民和情报界的成员，以解决本报告中概述的根本问题，并创造了一个能够最能为美国的国家安全利益服务的情报界。我们是问题的一部分。让我们找到解决方案。我屈服于地板。____________________
