Agencies redesign shifts war on terror
The Bush administration unveiled a broad reform plan to reshape federal law and security agencies for the 21st century. Attorney General Ashcroft described a six month reorganization moving 10 percent of resources from Washington to field offices, expanding FBI, immigration screeners, and prosecutors to focus on preventing terrorism. Officials say a $2.5 billion shift will fund counterterrorism, with program cuts at Justice Department and congressional approval needed. A presidential panel will recommend consolidating spy resources under the CIA director and give the CIA control over key satellites and intercepts, affecting NSA, NRO, and NGA. Lawmakers welcomed the move but demand scrutiny of past failures surrounding Sept. 11.
