On the recordOctober 29, 2003
for a year, a joint committee of members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committee carried out their responsibilities to do a comprehensive review of what happened before September 11 as it related to the role of the intelligence community; what happened after September 11, particularly in utilizing the information that was gathered around that tragic event; and then what recommendations for some fundamental change that would enhance the capacity of the intelligence community to reduce the prospect of another 9/11. That report took over 800 pages. It had some 19 recommendations for action. After the report was completed, it was submitted to the administration--primarily the CIA, the FBI, and the White House--for review as to whether there were any elements of that report that would be categorized as national security and therefore not for general public distribution.
