White Papers

Rationale:

Several issues

of

critical importance

to

emergency preparedness and response

(EP&R)

deserve in-depth

focus

by the

National Commission

on

Terrorist Attacks Upon

the

United

States.

Team

9

proposes

a

series of (###) white papers to more thoroughly

inform

Commission members and

staff

on these

EP&R

issues.Team

9 recognizes that while we are now

engaged

in gathering the facts of the

September

11

th

emergency

response,

it

is

also

necessary

to

simultaneously develop

an

informed

sense

ot the

mostsignificantissues regarding EP&R.

issues

that will likely

be

addressed

in the

EP&R recommendations

in

the

Commission'sfinalreport.

For

example, many

of the

larger issues surrounding

the

Nation's Intelligence Community

(1C)

are

well

known to the

Commission

and

will

likely

serve

as a

framework

for

Commission recommendations

affecting

the

1C.

In contrast, many of the critical issues facing the EP&R community are less wellknown

or not

fully

understood.

The

following

is a

list

of

EP&R white paper

topics Team

9

intends

on

writing.

The

tentative goal

is to

forward

two

papers

per

month, beginning

in

July

2003,

to

Commission members.

In

meeting

the

goal.

Commission

members

and

staff

will

be

fully

informed

on

these EP&R issues

by

November 2003.

and

thereby
