18 other nations; 

19 (C) communications of or by such groups 

20 or individuals; or 

21 (D) groups or individuals reasonably be22 lieved to be assisting or associated with such 

23 groups or individuals. 
128 

•HR 5150 IH 

1 (4) NETWORK.—The term ‘‘Network’’ means 

2 the Information Sharing Network described under 

3 subsection (c). 

4 (b) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the report of the Na5 tional Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United 

6 States, Congress makes the following findings: 

7 (1) The effective use of information, from all 

8 available sources, is essential to the fight against 

9 terror and the protection of our homeland. The big10 gest impediment to all-source analysis, and to a 

11 greater likelihood of ‘‘connecting the dots’’, is resist12 ance to sharing information. 

13 (2) The United States Government has access 

14 to a vast amount of information, including not only 

15 traditional intelligence but also other government 

16 databases, such as those containing customs or im17 migration information. However, the United States 

18 Government has a weak system for processing and 

19 using the information it has. 

20 (3) In the period preceding September 11, 

21 2001, there were instances of potentially helpful in22 formation that was available but that no person 

23 knew to ask for; information that was distributed 

24 only in compartmented channels, and information 

25 that was requested but could not be shared. 
129 

•HR 5150 IH 

1 (4) Current security requirements nurture over2 classification and excessive compartmentalization of 

3 information among agencies. Each agency’s incentive 

4 structure opposes sharing, with risks, including 

5 criminal, civil, and administrative sanctions, but few 

6 rewards for sharing information. 

7 (5) The current system, in which each intel8 ligence agency has its own security practices, re9 quires a demonstrated ‘‘need to know’’ before shar10 ing. This approach assumes that it is possible to 

11 know, in advance, who will need to use the informa12 tion. An outgrowth of the cold war, such a system 

13 implicitly assumes that the risk of inadvertent dis14 closure outweighs the benefits of wider sharing. 

15 Such assumptions are no longer appropriate. Al16 though counterintelligence concerns are still real, the 

17 costs of not sharing information are also substantial. 

18 The current ‘‘need-to-know’’ culture of information 

19 protection needs to be replaced with a ‘‘need-to20 share’’ culture of integration. 

21 (6) A new approach to the sharing of intel22 ligence and homeland security information is ur23 gently needed. An important conceptual model for a 

24 new ‘‘trusted information network’’ is the System25 wide Homeland Analysis and Resource Exchange 
130 

•HR 5150 IH 

1 (SHARE) Network proposed by a task force of lead2 ing professionals assembled by the Markle Founda3 tion and described in reports issued in October 2002 

4 and December 2003. 

5 (7) No single agency can create a meaningful 

6 information sharing system on its own. Alone, each 

7 agency can only modernize stovepipes, not replace 

8 them. Presidential leadership is required to bring 

9 about governmentwide change. 

10 (c) INFORMATION SHARING NETWORK.— 

11 (1) ESTABLISHMENT.—The President shall es12 tablish a trusted information network and secure in13 formation sharing environment to promote sharing 

14 of intelligence and homeland security information in 

15 a manner consistent with national security and the 

16 protection of privacy and civil liberties, and based on 

17 clearly defined and consistently applied policies and 

18 procedures, and valid investigative, analytical or 

19 operational requirements. 

20 (2) ATTRIBUTES.—The Network shall promote 

21 coordination, communication and collaboration of 

22 people and information among all relevant Federal 

23 departments and agencies, State, tribal, and local 

24 authorities, and relevant private sector entities, in25 cluding owners and operators of critical infrastruc-

2 support—

6 share information among agencies, between lev7 els of government, and, as appropriate, with the 

8 private sector; 

9 (B) the sharing of information in a form 

10 and manner that facilitates its use in analysis, 

11 investigations and operations; 

12 (C) building upon existing systems capa13 bilities currently in use across the Government; 

14 (D) utilizing industry best practices, in15 cluding minimizing the centralization of data 

16 and seeking to use common tools and capabili17 ties whenever possible; 

18 (E) employing an information access man19 agement approach that controls access to data 

20 rather than to just networks; 

21 (F) facilitating the sharing of information 

22 at and across all levels of security by using pol23 icy guidelines and technologies that support
