Statement of Michael A. Wermuth, Director, Homeland Security, The RAND Corporation, before the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs United States Senate January 26, 2005. My remarks today will be informed in great measure by relevant and comprehensive research and analysis conducted by the RAND Corporation over many years. It includes the major areas of research and analysis to support the deliberations and recommendations of the congressionally mandated Advisory Panel to Assess Domestic Response Capabilities for Terrorism Involving Weapons of Mass Destruction (also known as the Gilmore Commission)2, over the course of its five annual reports to the President and the Congress from 1999 to 2004. My remarks are also based on significant research on related matters for the White House Office of Homeland Security, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice (including the Federal Bureau of Investigation), numerous entities within the Department of Defense, various agencies of the Intelligence Community, the Department of State, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Energy, the Department of Transportation, and several other federal departments and agencies. It likewise includes related research and analysis for various agencies of the State of California, the State of Georgia, the City of New York City, other State and local entities, as well as research commissioned by private foundations and others.
Homeland security protects the United States from hazards both man-made and natural. Executing this protective task is challenging. Terrorist threats are omnipresent and must be countered on a daily basis. Additionally, natural disasters are a pervasive threat to homeland security. Their magnitude and frequency appear to be increasing. When a disaster strikes, U.S. citizens deserve the best response possible. To strengthen homeland security, collaboration and unity of effort are essential from sharing of information in attempts to prevent a terrorist attack to ensuring assistance efforts are adequately coordinated when responding to a disaster. The following research project addresses these issues and provides recommendations on how to continue the success that has been achieved. Finally, it addresses areas that should be more closely monitored such as continuing collaborative efforts and ensuring unity of effort.
Examines the planning and budgeting processes of the United States. This title describes the planning and resource integration activities of the White House, reviews the adequacy of the structures and process and makes proposals for ways both might be reformed to fit the demands of the 21st century security environment.
