      "title": "General Management Laws and the 9/11 Commission's Proposed Office of National Intelligence Director (NID) and National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC)",
      "summary": "To improve the organization and capabilities of the U.S. intelligence community, the National\nCommission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (9/11 Commission) recommended, among\nother things, that two entities be established -- a National Intelligence Director (NID) and a National\nCounterterrorism Center (NCTC). The commission said that the NID should be located within the\nExecutive Office of the President (EOP), and said the NCTC should report to the NID. Legislation\ndesigned to create these entities would place them either within the EOP (e.g.,  H.R. 5024  and  H.R. 5050 ) or within an independent entity outside of the EOP (e.g.,\n S. 2845 ,  H.R. 10 ,  H.R. 5150 ,  S. 2774 , and\n H.R. 5040 ).\n Questions have been raised regarding a number of issues associated with the establishment of\nthe NID and the NCTC. One set of such questions centers on whether these proposed entities would\nbe covered by various \"general management laws\" -- broad statutes designed to regulate the\nactivities, procedures, and administration of all or most executive branch agencies in such areas as\nregulatory and information management, financial management, procurement, and strategic planning. \nEarlier in 2004, CRS published a compendium of these general management laws and a companion\nreport on major themes from these laws, with possible management policy options ( CRS Report RL30795(pdf) ,  General Management Laws: A Compendium ; and  CRS Report RL32388(pdf) ,\n General\nManagement Laws: Major Themes and Management Policy Options ).\n This report examines whether more than 50 general management laws (e.g., the Administrative\nProcedure Act, the Inspector General Act, and the Competition in Contracting Act) would cover the\nNID and the NCTC under two scenarios: (1) if the entities were established within the EOP, and (2)\nif the entities were established as or within independent entities in the executive branch. The\nanalysis focuses on the  coverage  of the selected management laws, not on whether the\nlaws are likely\nto  affect  or  apply  to the NID or the NCTC. Also, some of the laws allow\nexemptions or contain\nother provisions that can affect their coverage. \n In general, the report indicates that more of these management laws would appear to cover the\nNID and NCTC if they were created as independent entities in the executive branch than if they were\nplaced within the EOP. In many cases, it was unclear whether the statutes' definitions of covered\n\"agencies\" included entities within the EOP. The report also indicates that Congress, if it so desires,\ncould indicate that the NID and the NCTC would be covered by these management laws by either\n(1) amending the text of each of the management laws or (2) delineating in the statute creating the\nentities the particular management laws that should cover them. \n This report will be updated if additional information becomes available about the coverage of\nthe management laws or if legislation creating the NID and the NCTC (or similar entities) is enacted.",
