1 (A) the sacrifices made by the members of the 

2 United States Armed Forces are significant and are 

3 worthy of meaningful expressions of gratitude by the

5 of sacrifice through loss of life; 

6 (B) the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and

15 survivors of members of the Armed Forces, the subse16 quently established Servicemembers’ Group Life In17 surance (SGLI) program, and other benefits for sur18 vivors of deceased members has evolved over time, but 

19 there are increasing indications that the evolution of 

20 such benefits has failed to keep pace with the expan21 sion of indemnity and compensation available to seg22 ments of United States society outside the Armed 

23 Forces, a failure that is especially apparent in a com24 parison of the benefits for survivors of deceased mem-
177

HR 1588 EAS/PP 

1 bers with the compensation provided to families of ci2 vilian victims of terrorism; and 

3 (D) while Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance 

4 (SGLI) provides an assured source of life insurance 

5 for members of the Armed Forces that benefits the sur6 vivors of such members upon death, the SGLI pro7 gram requires the members to pay for that life insur8 ance coverage and does not provide an assured min9 imum benefit.

18 death benefits plans for segments of United States so19 ciety outside the Armed Forces, and also with the ben20 efits available under Public Law 107–37 (115 Stat.

25 provide a stratified schedule of entitlement amounts

5 Indemnity Compensation and the anticipated effects 

6 of an elimination of the offset of Survivor Benefit 

7 Plan annuities by Dependency and Indemnity Com8 pensation;

10 members of the Armed Forces in high risk military

3 SEC. 924. INTEGRATION OF DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE, SUR4 VEILLANCE, AND RECONNAISSANCE CAPA5 BILITIES 

6 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 

7 (1) As part of transformation efforts within the 

8 Department of Defense, each of the Armed Forces is 

9 developing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnais10 sance capabilities that best support future war fight11 ing as envisioned by the leadership of the military de12 partment concerned. 

13 (2) Concurrently, intelligence agencies of the De14 partment of Defense outside the military departments 

15 are developing transformation roadmaps to best sup16 port the future decisionmaking and war fighting 

17 needs of their principal customers, but are not always 

18 closely coordinating those efforts with the intelligence, 

19 surveillance, and reconnaissance development efforts 

20 of the military departments. 

21 (3) A senior official of each military department 

22 has been designated as the integrator of intelligence, 

23 surveillance, and reconnaissance for each of the 

24 Armed Forces in such military department, but there 

25 is not currently a well-defined forum where the inte-
306

HR 1588 EAS/PP 

1 grators of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnais2 sance capabilities for each of the Armed Forces can 

3 routinely interact with each other and with senior 

4 representatives of Department of Defense intelligence 

5 agencies, as well as with other members of the intel6 ligence community, to ensure unity of effort and to 

7 preclude unnecessary duplication of effort. 

8 (4) The current funding structure of a National 

9 Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP), Joint Military 

10 Intelligence Program (JMIP), and Tactical Intel11 ligence and Related Activities Program (TIARA) 

12 might not be the best approach for supporting the de13 velopment of an intelligence, surveillance, and recon14 naissance structure that is integrated to meet the na15 tional security requirements of the United States in 

16 the 21st century. 

17 (5) The position of Under Secretary of Defense 

18 for Intelligence was established in 2002 by Public 

19 Law 107–314 in order to facilitate resolution of the 

20 challenges to achieving an integrated intelligence, sur21 veillance, and reconnaissance structure in the Depart22 ment of Defense to meet such 21st century require23 ments. 

24 (b) GOAL.—It shall be a goal of the Department of De25 fense to fully coordinate and integrate the intelligence, sur-
307

HR 1588 EAS/PP 

1 veillance, and reconnaissance capabilities and develop2 mental activities of the military departments, intelligence 

3 agencies of the Department of Defense, and relevant combat4 ant commands as those departments, agencies, and com5 mands transform their intelligence, surveillance, and recon6 naissance systems to meet current and future needs. 

7 (c) REQUIREMENT.—(1) The Under Secretary of De8 fense for Intelligence shall establish an Intelligence, Surveil9 lance, and Reconnaissance Integration Council to provide 

10 a permanent forum for the discussion and arbitration of 

11 issues relating to the integration of intelligence, surveil12 lance, and reconnaissance capabilities. 

13 (2) The Council shall be composed of the senior intel14 ligence officers of the Armed Forces and the United States 

15 Special Operations Command, the Director of Operations 

16 of the Joint Staff, and the directors of the intelligence agen17 cies of the Department of Defense.

21 Council.

1 velop a comprehensive Defense Intelligence, Surveillance, 

2 and Reconnaissance Integration Roadmap to guide the de3 velopment and integration of the Department of Defense in4 telligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities for 

5 15 years. 

6 (e) REPORT.—(1) Not later than September 30, 2004, 

7 the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence shall submit 

8 to the committees of Congress specified in paragraph (2) 

9 a report on the Defense Intelligence, Surveillance, and Re10 connaissance Integration Roadmap developed under sub11 section (d). The report shall include the following matters: 

12 (A) The fundamental goals established in the 

13 roadmap. 

14 (B) An overview of the intelligence, surveillance, 

15 and reconnaissance integration activities of the mili16 tary departments and the intelligence agencies of the

19 (i) an integration of Department of Defense 

20 intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance ca21 pabilities that ensures sustainment of needed tac22 tical and operational efforts; and 

23 (ii) efficient investment in new intelligence, 

24 surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.

7 Defense intelligence agencies can be better integrated. 

8 (F) Recommendations on how annual funding 

9 authorizations and appropriations can be optimally
