Believe me. the Office of Counterterrorism was not formulating or even having a significant impact on fundamental policies while it existed. I think part of the reason was because of its organizational structure. This administration recognizes that issue. has created a new Under Secretary for Global Affairs. has taken these multinational. crossnational issues like terrorism and narcotics and refugees and population planning and put them into an Under Secretary who meets every single day that he is in town with the Secretary of State and raises those issues with him. We have a chain of command in this new administration reorganization which will give more status. more influence to an office of counterterrorism. There is nothing about the track record when the office existed separately that should make us feel particularly comfortable. and there is a lot about the administrations proposed reorganization here that makes sense.
