‘‘(f) INTELLIGENCE THROUGH EMPLOYEES GENER-
ATING RESOURCES FOR ANALYTICAL LEADERSHIP (IN-
TEGRAL) PROGRAM.— 
‘‘(1) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:
‘‘(A) It is of critical importance that the 
Department establish an ‘intelligence culture’ 
among all of its employees. 
‘‘(B) At its inception, the Department 
drew together 22 Federal agencies that are now 
united in a common homeland security mission. 
‘‘(C) Most of those agencies were not intel-
ligence agencies and were instead primarily con-
cerned with either law enforcement or the provi-
sion of services. 
‘‘(D) Many employees who once worked for 
those agencies still do not view themselves as ei-
ther collectors of intelligence information or 
contributors to the Department’s intelligence 
information analysis efforts. 
‘‘(E) The Department lacks an intelligence 
culture in which individuals understand that 
they are an integral part of a chain in which 
even the most seemingly insignificant piece of 
data can lead to the unraveling of a terrorist 
threat. 
‘‘(2) INTEGRAL PROGRAM.—The Secretary, 
acting through the Chief Intelligence Officer and in 
coordination with appropriate Department personnel, 
shall establish a program to be known as the Intel-
ligence Through Employees Generating Resources 
for Analytical Leadership (INTEGRAL) Program 
that— 
‘‘(A) is based on evaluations of how em-
ployees, including intelligence analysts and law 
enforcement agents, can better collect, analyze, 
process, and report intelligence information rel-
evant to the intelligence analysis employees of 
the Department, the Chief Intelligence Officer, 
the Office of Intelligence and Analysis, and the 
wider intelligence community (as that term is 
defined in section 3(4) of the National Security 
Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401a(4))); 
‘‘(B) 
provides 
training, 
employee 
ex-
changes, and other educational opportunities 
for employees to better develop an under-
standing of the value of the intelligence infor-
mation they collect for the intelligence analysis 
employees of the Department; 
‘‘(C) provides guidance on how the infor-
mation Department employees collect can be 
used by the intelligence analysis employees of 
the Department and on what type of intel-
ligence information is most useful;
‘‘(D) creates mechanisms by which employ-
ees can communicate the information they gath-
er to the intelligence analysis employees of the 
Department; and 
‘‘(E) establishes strategies for employees to 
adapt their daily work habits to promote an in-
telligence culture within the Department.’’.

SEC. 109. OPERATIONS OFFICE. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CONSOLIDA-
TION OF CBP AND ICE.— 
(1) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
(A) the Bureau of Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) of the Department of Home-
land Security is responsible for managing, con-
trolling, and protecting the borders of the
United States, at and between United States 
ports of entry; 
(B) U.S. Immigration and Customs En-
forcement (ICE) of the Department of Home-
land Security is the investigative and enforce-
ment arm of the Department of Homeland Se-
curity responsible for hindering terrorism 
through the identification and resolution of vio-
lations and vulnerabilities in Federal immigra-
tion laws, customs laws, and air security laws; 
(C) in the report titled ‘‘DHS 2.0 Rethink-
ing The Department Of Homeland Security’’, 
the Heritage Foundation recommended that a 
more efficient organization of border security 
which would be consistent with an effective 
homeland security program would require merg-
ing CBP and ICE; 
(D) the current separation of CBP and 
ICE by the Department of Homeland Security 
has created organizational ‘‘turf battles’’ and 
inefficiency; and 
(E) a combined entity containing compo-
nents of CBP and ICE will bring together all 
of the tools for effective border and immigration 
enforcement.
(2) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of 
Congress that the Bureau of Customs and Border 
Protection (CPB) and U.S. Immigration and Cus-
toms Enforcement (ICE), currently separate entities 
within the Department of Homeland Security, 
should be merged into a single operational unit with-
in the Department of Homeland Security to better 
protect the borders of the United States and to con-
duct interior enforcement operations and investiga-
tions to increase homeland security. 
(b) REPORT ON THE FUNCTIONS OF THE TRANSPOR-
TATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Within 120 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary 
shall report to Congress the methodology and man-
ner that the Transportation Security Administration 
will use to protect all modes of our Nation’s trans-
portation systems from acts of terrorism. 
(2) REQUIREMENTS OF REPORT.—The report 
required under paragraph (1) shall set forth the fol-
lowing: 
(A) Plans for the allocation of resources to 
manage risks, address threats, and enhance se-
curity across all transportation modes.
(B) The rationale for the allocation of re-
sources that has resulted in non-aviation modes 
of transportation receiving fewer resources for 
security enhancements than aviation. 
(C) A methodology to resolve the disparity 
in resource allocation across modes of transpor-
tation. 
(D) Any structural and organizational 
changes necessary to ensure the effective oper-
ation and management of the Transportation 
Security Administration as a transportation se-
curity agency for all modes of transportation. 
(E) A description of ongoing and planned 
research and development programs for all 
modes of transportation, including rail and 
transit security, that includes the funding for
