requirements within the department with a total value in
excess of $5,000,000.
(2) The Secretary shall ensure that appropriate offi-
cials of the Department of Defense periodically review the

SEC. 924. INTEGRATION OF DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE, SUR-
VEILLANCE, AND RECONNAISSANCE CAPA-
BILITIES
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(1) As part of transformation efforts within the
Department of Defense, each of the Armed Forces is
developing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnais-
sance capabilities that best support future war fight-
ing as envisioned by the leadership of the military de-
partment concerned.
(2) Concurrently, intelligence agencies of the De-
partment of Defense outside the military departments
are developing transformation roadmaps to best sup-
port the future decisionmaking and war fighting
needs of their principal customers, but are not always
closely coordinating those efforts with the intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance development efforts
of the military departments.
(3) A senior official of each military department
has been designated as the integrator of intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance for each of the
Armed Forces in such military department, but there
is not currently a well-defined forum where the inte-
†
306
HR 1588 EAS/PP
grators of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnais-
sance capabilities for each of the Armed Forces can
routinely interact with each other and with senior
representatives of Department of Defense intelligence
agencies, as well as with other members of the intel-
ligence community, to ensure unity of effort and to
preclude unnecessary duplication of effort.
(4) The current funding structure of a National
Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP), Joint Military
Intelligence Program (JMIP), and Tactical Intel-
ligence and Related Activities Program (TIARA)
might not be the best approach for supporting the de-
velopment of an intelligence, surveillance, and recon-
naissance structure that is integrated to meet the na-
tional security requirements of the United States in
the 21st century.
(5) The position of Under Secretary of Defense
for Intelligence was established in 2002 by Public
Law 107–314 in order to facilitate resolution of the
challenges to achieving an integrated intelligence, sur-
veillance, and reconnaissance structure in the Depart-
ment of Defense to meet such 21st century require-
ments.
(b) GOAL.—It shall be a goal of the Department of De-
fense to fully coordinate and integrate the intelligence, sur-
†
307
HR 1588 EAS/PP
veillance, and reconnaissance capabilities and develop-
mental activities of the military departments, intelligence
agencies of the Department of Defense, and relevant combat-
ant commands as those departments, agencies, and com-
mands transform their intelligence, surveillance, and recon-
naissance systems to meet current and future needs.
(c) REQUIREMENT.—(1) The Under Secretary of De-
fense for Intelligence shall establish an Intelligence, Surveil-
lance, and Reconnaissance Integration Council to provide
a permanent forum for the discussion and arbitration of
issues relating to the integration of intelligence, surveil-
lance, and reconnaissance capabilities.
(2) The Council shall be composed of the senior intel-
ligence officers of the Armed Forces and the United States
Special Operations Command, the Director of Operations
of the Joint Staff, and the directors of the intelligence agen-
cies of the Department of Defense.
(3) The Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence
shall invite the participation of the Director of Central In-
telligence or his representative in the proceedings of the
Council.
(d) ISR INTEGRATION ROADMAP.—The Under Sec-
retary of Defense for Intelligence, in consultation with the
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Integration
Council and the Director of Central Intelligence, shall de-
†
308
HR 1588 EAS/PP
velop a comprehensive Defense Intelligence, Surveillance,
and Reconnaissance Integration Roadmap to guide the de-
velopment and integration of the Department of Defense in-
telligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities for
15 years.
(e) REPORT.—(1) Not later than September 30, 2004,
the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence shall submit
to the committees of Congress specified in paragraph (2)
a report on the Defense Intelligence, Surveillance, and Re-
connaissance Integration Roadmap developed under sub-
section (d). The report shall include the following matters:
(A) The fundamental goals established in the
roadmap.
(B) An overview of the intelligence, surveillance,
and reconnaissance integration activities of the mili-
tary departments and the intelligence agencies of the
Department of Defense.
(C) An investment strategy for achieving—
(i) an integration of Department of Defense
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance ca-
pabilities that ensures sustainment of needed tac-
tical and operational efforts; and
(ii) efficient investment in new intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.
†

HR 1588 EAS/PP
(D) A discussion of how intelligence gathered
and analyzed by the Department of Defense can en-
hance the role of the Department of Defense in ful-
filling its homeland security responsibilities.
(E) A discussion of how counterintelligence ac-
tivities of the Armed Forces and the Department of
Defense intelligence agencies can be better integrated.
(F) Recommendations on how annual funding
authorizations and appropriations can be optimally
structured to best support the development of a fully
integrated Department of Defense intelligence, surveil-
lance, and reconnaissance architecture.

graph (1) are as follows:
(A) The Committee on Armed Services, the Com-
mittee on Appropriations, and the Select Committee
on Intelligence of the Senate.
