9/11 Commission Recommendations Likely to Be Adopted

The Bush administration is likely to adopt recommendations made last week by the Sept. 11 commission, US media reported on Sunday.  

The White House is studying which of the panel's more than 40 proposals can be implemented by executive order, which ones require congressional approval and which ones actually would improve domestic security, the reports quoted a senior administration official as saying.

 

"We will move as quickly as possible," the senior official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "Some recommendations will happen within days, others may take more time."

 

The official would not say which recommendations were likely to be adopted or offer more precise timing, according to the reports.

 

In its final report on the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Sept. 11 commission last Thursday recommended a sweeping overhaul of the nation's intelligence community.

 

The reports said that Congressional leaders had pledged August hearings in the House and Senate on two of the main recommendations: to create a position of director of national intelligence and a national counter-terrorism center.
