Comparison of 9/11 Commission Recommended
Intelligence Reforms, Roberts Draft Bill, H.R. 4104,
S. 190, S. 1520, S. 6, H.R. 4584, and Current Law
Summary
On July 22, 2004, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the
United States (also known as the 9/11 Commission) released its bipartisan,
unanimous final report containing recommendations for far-reaching and
fundamental changes to the United States Intelligence Community (IC). Almost 20
months after its creation by P.L. 107-306, the commission, as mandated by its
founding legislation, attempted to present a full and complete accounting of the facts
and circumstances surrounding the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as well
as recommendations for corrective measures that can be taken to help prevent acts
of terrorism.
Several Members of Congress also have proposed legislation to reform the IC.
Senators Feinstein (S. 190), Bob Graham (S. 1520), Daschle (S. 6) and Roberts (draft
bill of August 23, 2004) have introduced or proposed legislation that either directly,
or as part of broader security proposals, contain a variety of IC reforms.
Representative Harman (H.R. 4104) has introduced comprehensive intelligence
reform legislation as did Representative Goss (H.R. 4584), before he was confirmed
by the U.S. Senate as Director of Central Intelligence.
This report, the first of two reports, presents side-by-side comparisons of the

9/11 Commission recommendations and legislation proposed by Senators Feinstein,

Bob Graham, Daschle, and Roberts; and Representatives Harman and Goss, and
relevant provisions of current law.
A second report (CRS Report RL32601) presents a side-by-side comparison of
the 9/11 Commission recommendations and legislation proposed by Senators Collins,
Lieberman, and McCain; President Bush; and relevant provisions of current law.
This report will be updated.
