Excerpt
Excerpt: We are pleased to be here today to discuss our work and observations on federal efforts to combat terrorism. As you know, we have been studying the crosscutting aspects of the terrorism area for nearly 2 years at the requests of Congressman Ike Skelton and Senator John Glenn, in addition to this Subcommittee. This horizontal approach to our work-looking at terrorism matters across several agencies-offers a very different perspective on the issues to the Congress than if we looked at individual agencies and their programs separately. We will first briefly talk about the foreign-origin and domestic terrorism threat in the United States as we understand it from intelligence analyses and the origins and principles of the U.S. policy and strategy to combat terrorism. Then I would like to share some of our observations about issues that warrant further attention.
