We came together to fight back. and I have never seen us work so strongly towards a common goal. In 2002. Congress created the Department of Homeland Security. which brought together 22 separate agencies and offices into a single Cabinetlevel department in order to secure our country from threats such as border security and cybersecurity. as well as coordinating efforts to respond to emergencies. We also created the bipartisan 9/11 Congressional Caucus. which eventually led to the creation of the 9111 Commission to investigate what exactly went wrong with our security and to make recommendations to protect our Nation against a terrorist attack. The Commission and its staff reviewed over 2.5 million pages of documents. interviewed over 1.200 individuals in 12 countries. including every relevant senior official of both the Clinton and George W.
