The former senators who led the Hart Rudman commission warned in 1999 of a likely major terror attack and urged a Department of Homeland Security. Their testimony before Senator Lieberman's committee reinforced calls for stronger science education and public service investment, while supporting an intelligence analysis function for the new department and opposing direct FBI CIA control.
