"National Intelligence must be redefined away from secrets and toward the more fundamental mission of informing policy and[,] most particularly, the President. At the same time, recognizing the growing power of non-governmental organizations, a truly national intelligence community must be formed by harnessing the distributed intelligence of the business, academic, media, and individual experts outside of the government."
Verton, Daniel. "Data-rich Spy Center on the Drawing Board: Hub to Integrate Dozens of Intell Systems." Federal Computer Week, 8 May 2000. [http://www.fcw.com]
Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) will propose legislation as part of the fiscal 2001 Defense Department budget which would create a National Operations and Analysis Hub (NOAH). The new organization "would support high-level government policymakers by integrating the more than 28 intelligence community networks, as well as the databases from a vast array of federal agencies. The plan is to model the new agency after the Army's Land Information Warfare Activity [LIWA] at Fort Belvoir, Va., which Weldon credits with one of the most effective 'massive data mining' capabilities in the intelligence community."
