NEW CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AGENCY PROPOSED
The U.S. Commission on National Security last Wednesday urged the
Bush administration to create the National Homeland Security Agency
(NHSA) and to include a National Crisis Action Center as a "focal
point for monitoring emergencies and for coordinating federal support
in a crisis to state and local governments, as well as to the private
sector," according to the report.
Headed by former senators Gary Hart (D-Colo.) and Warren B. Rudman
(R-N.H.), the bi-partisan commission recommended the formation of the
NHSA to oversee government and private sector efforts to protect the
nation's critical infrastructure from both physical and cyberattacks.
The commission report "recommends a new National Homeland Security
Agency to consolidate and refine the missions of the nearly two dozen
disparate departments and agencies that have a role in U.S. homeland
security today," said commission Executive Director Charles Boyd, a
former U.S. Air Force general.
The commission's recommendations are intended as a blueprint for
matching the known and anticipated threats to national security over
the next 25 years. Newt Gingrich, a commission member and former
speaker of the House of Representatives, said the mounting threats in
cyberspace--either by hostile nation states, terrorists or malicious
hackers--will be a greater threat to the United States than any
conceivable conventional war.
"In addition to weapons of mass destruction, we have to worry about
Internet-based weapons of mass disruption," said Gingrich, now an IT
consultant, in an interview with Security Wire Digest.
The new agency would be charged with planning, coordinating and
integrating various U.S. government security activities and would be
responsible for coordinating government and private sector efforts to
address the nation's vulnerability to attacks.
