Description

The National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) was established in 2004 to ensure that information from any source about potential terrorist acts against the U.S. could be made available to analysts and that appropriate responses could be planned.

As a component of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the NCTC is composed of analysts with backgrounds in many government agencies and has access to various agency databases.

It prepares studies ranging from strategic assessment of the future terrorist threats to daily briefings and situation reports.

It is also responsible, directly to the President, for planning (but not directing) counterterrorism efforts.

This book provides an overview of the history, background, and issues for Congress with regard to the National Counterterrorism Center.
