SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Accurate, timely, and comprehensive foreign 
        intelligence and information are critical to the national 
        security of United States and the furtherance of the foreign 
        policy goals of the United States.
            (2) It is in the national security and foreign policy 
        interest of the United States to ensure the global deployment 
        of personnel of the Government of the United States who are 
        responsible for collecting and reporting foreign intelligence 
        and information, including personnel from the intelligence 
        community, the Department of State, and other agencies and 
        departments of the Government of the United States, and that 
        adequate resources are committed to effect such collection and 
        reporting.
            (3) The 2005 National Intelligence Strategy and the 2006 
        Annual Report of the United States Intelligence Community 
        identified 5 major missions of the intelligence community to 
        support the national security requirements of the United 
        States, the first 2 of which, defeating terrorism and 
        preventing and countering the spread of weapons of mass 
        destruction, are global and transnational in nature.
            (4) The third major mission identified by the 2005 National 
        Intelligence Strategy and the 2006 Annual Report, bolstering 
        the growth of democracy and sustaining peaceful democratic 
        states, requires a global commitment of collection, reporting, 
        and analytical capabilities.
            (5) The 2005 National Intelligence Strategy and the 2006 
        Annual Report identify as a major mission the need to 
        ``anticipate developments of strategic concern and identify 
        opportunities as well as vulnerabilities for decision makers''.
            (6) The 2006 Annual Report provides the following:
                    (A) ``In a world in which developments in distant 
                reaches of the globe can quickly affect American 
                citizens and interests at home and abroad, the 
                Intelligence Community must alert policy makers to 
                problems before they escalate and provide insights into 
                their causes and effects. Analysis must do more than 
                just describe what is happening and why; it must 
                identify a range of opportunities for (and likely 
                consequences of) diplomatic, military, law enforcement, 
                economic, financial, or homeland security action. To 
                support policymakers, the Intelligence Community should 
                develop, sustain, and maintain access to expertise on 
                every region, every transnational security issue, and 
                every threat to the American people.''.
                    (B) ``We still need to re-balance, integrate, and 
                optimize collection capabilities to meet current and 
                future customer and analytic priorities. Collection is 
                . . . what gives the [Intelligence Community] its 
                `competitive advantage' in protecting the United States 
                and its interests.''.
                    (C) ``One challenge to improving the coverage of 
                emerging and strategic issues across the Intelligence 
                Community has been the diversion of resources to 
                current crisis support . . .''.
                    (D) ``Collection against terrorists in places like 
                Iraq and Afghanistan took a substantial share of the 
                [Intelligence Community's] resources and efforts in FY 
                2006.''.
                    (E) ``With so many [Intelligence Community] 
                resources dedicated to the War on Terror and WMD 
                programs in closed regimes, the [Intelligence] 
                Community's collection efforts still have to devote 
                significant attention to potential or emerging threats 
                of strategic consequence.''.
            (7) On January 23, 2007, the Deputy Director of National 
        Intelligence for Collection testified to the Select Committee 
        on Intelligence of the Senate that there is a ``need to get the 
        Intelligence Community back to what I grew up calling global 
        reach'', stating that ``we don't have that today''. She further 
        testified that ``our challenge is . . . with [Congress] help 
        [to get back] to a place where we can do global reach, and pay 
        attention to places that we are not.''.
            (8) On February 14, 2008, the Director of National 
        Intelligence testified to the Select Committee on Intelligence 
        of the Senate that ``certainly current crisis support takes a 
        disproportionate share'' of intelligence resources over 
        emerging and strategic issues.
            (9) In responses to questions posed by the Select Committee 
        on Intelligence of the Senate in advance of the February 5, 
        2009, hearing on the nomination of Leon Panetta to be Director 
        of the Central Intelligence Agency, Mr. Panetta stated that ``I 
        am also concerned that we have not devoted sufficient resources 
        to a broader set of national intelligence challenges--such as 
        Russia, China, the global economic downturn, as well as 
        unstable and weak governments in places such as Africa and 
        Latin America.''.
            (10) On February 12, 2009, the Director of National 
        Intelligence testified to the Select Committee on Intelligence 
        of the Senate that ``I'd say the most significant gaps are the 
        areas that are not traditional State threats, that we have not 
        figured out the right way to collect information and we have 
        not grown the analysts to do it. . . . We're not as good with 
        non-state actors.''.
            (11) On March 26, 2009, the Director of National 
        Intelligence stated that ``We re-evaluate that National 
        Intelligence Priority Framework formally ever six months and 
        informally, as we have. And its quite remarkable, if you--you 
        know those time-lapse pictures where things change? If you 
        showed a time-lapse picture of that National Intelligence 
        Priority Framework, you'd see, sort of, colors shifting over 
        time as things came up, in terms of their threat or in terms of 
        an opportunity that they--so I just, I think it's a mistake to 
        tie us down to, this is my important priority. There are 
        enduring things we have to spend a lot of time on because you 
        can't instantly generate intelligence about a country that's 
        very good at keeping its secrets that you know is going to be a 
        factor for a long time. And we have to work on those--we have 
        to work on those every time. We have to keep an excellent 
        baseline understanding of what's going on in the world, but 
        then we need to be able to flex.''.
            (12) The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the 
        United States (hereinafter referred to as the ``9/11 
        Commission'') reported that ``To find sanctuary, terrorist 
        organizations have fled to some of the least governed, most 
        lawless places in the world. The intelligence community has 
        prepared a world map that highlights possible terrorist havens, 
        using no secret intelligence--just indicating areas that 
        combine rugged terrain, weak governance, room to hide or 
        receive supplies, and low population density with a town or 
        city near enough to allow necessary interaction with the 
        outside world. Large areas scattered around the world meet 
        these criteria.''.
            (13) The 9/11 Commission recommended that the ``U.S. 
        Government must identify and prioritize actual or potential 
        terrorist sanctuaries. For each, it should have a realistic 
        strategy to keep possible terrorists insecure and on the run, 
        using all elements of national power. We should reach out, 
        listen to, and work with other countries that can help.''.
            (14) On May 6, 2008, the Acting Director of the National 
        Counterterrorism Center testified to the Select Committee on 
        Intelligence of the Senate that ``I wish I had more resources 
        to dedicate to longer-term threats, absolutely,'' that ``much 
        of the information about the instability that can lead to safe 
        havens or ideological radicalization comes not from covert 
        collection but from open collection, best done by Foreign 
        Service officers,'' and that there should be ways to direct 
        resources toward whoever is best positioned to learn about 
        safe-haven conditions.
            (15) On November 1, 2005, the Director of National 
        Intelligence Open Source Center was established with functions 
        that ``include collection, analysis and research, training, and 
        information technology management to facilitate government-wide 
        access and use'' of openly available information.
            (16) The Strategic Plan of the Department of State provides 
        as a strategic goal that ``Our diplomatic and development 
        activities will reduce the threat or impact of violent conflict 
        by developing early warning . . . capability.''.
            (17) On January 22, 2009, James Steinberg, a nominee to be 
        Deputy Secretary of State, testified to the Committee on 
        Foreign Relations of the Senate that ``if we're going to be 
        effective in this move towards smart power, then we have to 
        understand how we reprioritize our resources to be able to 
        achieve that . . . If we only think about the crisis of the 
        moment, then we're not prepared as new challenges emerge. And 
        we've seen this time and time again, that issues that were not 
        immediately on the radar screen don't get the attention they 
        deserve. . . . So the idea of looking forward and trying to 
        figure out over the long-term where our priorities need to be, 
        how do we anticipate some of these challenges, and then judge 
        how we have sort of assigned resources to take care of not only 
        those current needs but also those long-term challenges I think 
        has to be very important and part of a strategic planning 
        strategy . . . although we have a very strong intelligence 
        community, that there is a tremendous resource of people who've 
        lived and worked out in the countries that we're dealing with 
        and that, for a variety of reasons, the intelligence community 
        is not always the best equipped to do that. They bring their 
        own special skills. But the Foreign Service officers, and also 
        people from outside the government, are enormous sources of 
        information and value. And we need to find better ways, in my 
        judgment, to have more contact with people in the private 
        sector, from the NGOs, from the business community, from 
        universities and the like, as part of our being able to touch 
        and feel what's going on the ground.''.
            (18) On January 22, 2009, Jacob Lew, a nominee to be Deputy 
        Secretary of State, testified to the Committee on Foreign 
        Relations of the Senate that ``I believe strongly that 
        resources have to follow priorities. The decision of where we 
        need to be and what kinds of skills we need have to fit into a 
        comprehensive strategy. . . . We need to work with our other 
        Cabinet agency partners. There are 20 government agencies that 
        have resources that work in or through our embassies. We don't 
        need to recreate the wheel; we need to cooperate with each 
        other and make sure that we have enough Foreign Service, civil 
        service and locally engaged staff so that we can effectively 
        coordinate the efforts that the United States puts on the 
        ground. I think that it all begins with the strategic planning 
        process. If we don't have a clear vision of what we need and 
        what we want, were not going to be able to make the right 
        resource allocation decisions. And we have to be able to look 
        beyond this week, next week, or even next year. . . . We need 
        to reach not just into the building but all the way into the 
        field and make it clear that we have every intention of 
        bringing the resources of the State Department to bear as we 
        deal with these kinds of problems and challenges abroad, that 
        we have knowledge in our embassies, in our consulates, about a 
        range of issues, not just political issues--economic issues, 
        scientific issues, cultural issues--that give us the broadest 
        understanding of what's going on in an increasingly global 
        world.''.
            (19) The Legal Attache offices and sub-offices of the 
        Federal Bureau of Investigation are currently located in 75 
        cities around the world, providing coverage for more than 200 
        countries, territories, and islands.
            (20) On October 4, 2007, Thomas V. Fuentes, Assistant 
        Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for Office of 
        International Operations, testified to the Subcommittee on 
        Border, Maritime, and Global Counterterrorism of the Committee 
        on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives that the 
        ``core mission'' of the Legal Attache offices ``is to establish 
        and maintain liaison with principal law enforcement and 
        security services in designated foreign countries . . . 
        enabl[ing] the FBI to effectively and expeditiously conduct its 
        responsibilities in combating international terrorism, 
        organized crime, cyber crime, and general criminal matters,'' 
        and that while ``they do not conduct foreign intelligence 
        gathering,'' ``typical duties'' include . . . ``conducting 
        investigations in coordination with the host government; 
        sharing investigative leads and information; briefing Embassy 
        counterparts from other agencies, including law enforcement 
        agencies, as appropriate, and Ambassadors . . . providing 
        situation reports concerning cultural protocol; [and] assessing 
        political and security climates.''.
            (21) The July 2008 Preliminary Findings by the Project on 
        National Security Reform, entitled ``Enduring Security in an 
        Unpredictable World: the Urgent Need for National Security 
        Reform,'' included the following:
                    (A) The lack of a national security strategy that 
                clearly links ends, ways, and means and assigned roles 
                and responsibilities to each department has encouraged 
                a proliferation of department-level strategies. These 
                department strategies are uncoordinated and do not 
                systematically generate capabilities required for 
                national objectives.
                    (B) The resource allocation process is not driven 
                by any overall national plan or strategy for achieving 
                broad objectives, and the results or effectiveness of 
                the budgeting process cannot be measured against such 
                objectives.
                    (C) The national security system tends to 
                overemphasize traditional security threats and under 
                emphasize emerging challenges.

SEC. 4. ESTABLISHMENT AND FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMISSION.
