submitted 24 years ago by Pub. L. 107-296 to r/title-6-DOMESTIC-SECURITY · 98 words · no verdicts yet
The Secretary may create a permanent Joint Interagency Homeland Security Task Force. It would combine military and civilian government representatives to spot terrorist threats and act to prevent harm. Congress suggests modeling it on existing drug-interdiction task forces in Key West and Alameda.
(a) Establishment: The Secretary* may set up and run a permanent Joint Interagency Homeland* Security Task Force. It would include representatives from both military and civilian U.S. government agencies. Its purpose is to anticipate terrorist threats against the United States and take the right actions to prevent harm to the country.
(b) Structure: This part is a "sense of Congress" — a statement of Congress's opinion, not a binding command. Congress believes the Secretary should model this task force on the Joint Interagency Task Forces used for drug interdiction (stopping illegal drug shipments) based in Key West, Florida, and Alameda, California — following that approach as closely as is practical and appropriate.
The Secretary* may establish and operate a permanent Joint Interagency Homeland* Security Task Force composed of representatives from military and civilian agencies of the United States Government for the purposes of anticipating terrorist threats against the United States and taking appropriate actions to prevent harm to the United States.
It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary should model the Joint Interagency Homeland Security Task Force on the approach taken by the Joint Interagency Task Forces for drug interdiction at Key West, Florida and Alameda, California, to the maximum extent feasible and appropriate.
