On behalf of a grateful Nation. we pledge to continue to work to make their entire vision reality. Congress and the administration have made many significant changes over the years to improve the security of the homeland. The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act signed by the President in December of 2004 was a critical step forward in reorganizing our intelligence community. creating a Director of National Intelligence with personnel and budgetary authority. creating in statute a National Counterterrorism Center. improving our transportation security. and making important immigration reforms. There are still challenges. however. that need to be met. The Privacy and Civil Liberties Board established by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act. for example. should be operating and should be mandated with robust powers to oversee the governments adherence to the guidelines set forth by the 9/11 Commission.
