13 SEC. 308. INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATIONS ASSIST14 ANCE. 

15 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 

16 (1) The 9/11 Commission determined that the 

17 inability of first responders to communicate effec18 tively on September 11, 2001 was a critical obstacle 

19 to an effective multi-jurisdictional response. 

20 (2) Many jurisdictions across the country still 

21 experience difficulties communicating that may con22 tribute to confusion, delays, or added risks when re23 sponding to an emergency. 

24 (3) During fiscal year 2004, the Office for Do25 mestic Preparedness awarded over $834,000,000 for 
51 

HR 1817 RFS 

1 2,912 projects through Department of Homeland 

2 Security grant programs for the purposes of improv3 ing communications interoperability. 

4 (4) Interoperable communications systems are 

5 most effective when designed to comprehensively ad6 dress, on a regional basis, the communications of all 

7 types of public safety agencies, first responder dis8 ciplines, and State and local government facilities. 

9 (5) Achieving communications interoperability 

10 is complex due to the extensive training, system 

11 modifications, and agreements among the different 

12 jurisdictions that are necessary to implement effec13 tive communications systems. 

14 (6) The Congress authorized the Department of 

15 Homeland Security to create an Office for Interoper16 ability and Compatibility in the Intelligence Reform 

17 and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 to, among 

18 other things, establish a comprehensive national ap19 proach, coordinate federal activities, accelerate the 

20 adoption of standards, and encourage research and 

21 development to achieve interoperable communica22 tions for first responders. 

23 (7) The Office for Interoperability and Compat24 ibility includes the SAFECOM Program that serves 

25 as the umbrella program within the Federal govern-
52 

HR 1817 RFS 

1 ment to improve public safety communications inter2 operability, and has developed the RAPIDCOM pro3 gram, the Statewide Communications Interoper4 ability Planning Methodology, and a Statement of

14 and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (6 U.S.C. 194), 

15 including specifically the following: 

16 (1) Establishing a comprehensive national ap17 proach to achieving public safety interoperable com18 munications. 

19 (2) Issuing letters of intent to commit future 

20 funds for jurisdictions through existing homeland se21 curity grant programs to applicants as appropriate 

22 to encourage long-term investments that may signifi23 cantly improve communications interoperability. 

24 (3) Providing technical assistance to additional 

25 urban and other high-risk areas to support the es-
53 

HR 1817 RFS 

1 tablishment of consistent, secure, and effective inter2 operable communications capabilities. 

3 (4) Completing the report to the Congress on 

4 the Department’s plans for accelerating the develop5 ment of national voluntary consensus standards for 

6 public safety interoperable communications, a sched7 ule of milestones for such development, and achieve8 ments of such development, by no later than 30 days

7 SEC. 501. BORDER SECURITY AND ENFORCEMENT COORDI8 NATION AND OPERATIONS. 

9 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following 

10 findings: 

11 (1) As part of the creation of the Department 

12 of Homeland Security, section 442 of the Homeland 

13 Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107–273) estab14 lished a Bureau of Border Security and transferred 

15 into it all of the functions, programs, personnel, as16 sets, and liabilities pertaining to the following pro17 grams: the Border Patrol; alien detention and re18 moval; immigration-related intelligence, investiga19 tions, and enforcement activities; and immigration 

20 inspections at ports of entry. 

21 (2) Title IV of the Homeland Security Act of 

22 2002 (Public Law 107–273) also transferred to the 

23 new Department the United States Customs Service, 

24 as a distinct entity within the new Department, to 

25 further the Department’s border integrity mission. 
82 

HR 1817 RFS 

1 (3) Utilizing its reorganization authority pro2 vided in the Homeland Security Act of 2002, the 

3 President submitted a reorganization plan for the 

4 Department on January 30, 2003. 

5 (4) This plan merged the customs and immigra6 tion border inspection and patrol functions, along 

7 with agricultural inspections functions, into a new 

8 entity called United States Customs and Border 

9 Protection. 

10 (5) The plan also combined the customs and 

11 immigration enforcement agents, as well as the Of12 fice of Detention and Removal Operations, the Of13 fice of Federal Protective Service, the Office of Fed14 eral Air Marshal Service, and the Office of Intel15 ligence, into another new entity called United States 

16 Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 

17 (6) The President’s January 30, 2003, reorga18 nization plan did not explain the reasons for sepa19 rating immigration inspection and border patrol 

20 functions from other immigration-related enforce21 ment functions, or to combine immigration-related 

22 enforcement functions with customs and other func23 tions, contrary to the design of the Bureau of Bor24 der Security as prescribed by the Congress in section 

25 442 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. 
83 

HR 1817 RFS 

1 (7) United States Immigration and Customs 

2 Enforcement has faced major budgetary challenges 

3 that are, in part, attributable to the inexact division 

4 of resources upon the separation of immigration 

5 functions. These budget shortfalls have forced 

6 United States Immigration and Customs Enforce7 ment to impose hiring freezes and to release aliens 

8 that otherwise should be detained.
