At the Justice Department, we have implemented an integrated prevention strategy that breaks down old walls and enables our law enforcement, intelligence and homeland security professionals to share information like never before and bring all their expertise to bear to prevent terrorist attacks.

"I applaud the President's creation of the Terrorist Threat Integration Center (TTIC). The TTIC will ensure that terrorist threat-related information is integrated and analyzed comprehensively across agency lines and then provided to the federal, state and local officials who need it most. The TTIC will provide a seamless integration between foreign and domestic intelligence on terrorism. We will be able to optimize our ability to analyze information, form the most comprehensive possible threat picture and develop the plans we need to prevent terrorist attacks." 03-055
