Media Contacts: Release No.: 99-346 Marc Wolfson (FEMA) Release Date: December 9, 1999 Sheree L. Mixell (ATF) 202-927-8500 WASHINGTON – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced today that John W. Magaw will be joining the Agency management team. Magaw, who currently serves as the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), will work in the FEMA Director’s office where he will plan and coordinate FEMA’s domestic terrorism efforts. "I am pleased John Magaw has agreed to join the FEMA team," said FEMA Director James Lee Witt. "I look forward to working with him as we continue refining our plans that deal with the consequences of any acts of domestic terrorism in the United States." Magaw brings to his new position over 38 years of law enforcement service during which time he distinguished himself as an innovative leader. He completed a restructure at ATF and established a strategic plan that is used as a model by other law enforcement-related agencies. His changes to the agency also have resulted in the restoration of ATF’s public image. Before he was appointed ATF director, Magaw served as director of the United States Secret Service. Among his various assignments, he was in charge of all protective operations for the President of the United States and the First Family. He began his career in law enforcement as a trooper with the Ohio State Patrol. Magaw was the recipient of the 1991 and 1999 Presidential Rank Meritorious Award and the 1995 Presidential Rank Distinguished Award. His signature of excellence has earned him the reputation of "senior statesman" within the law enforcement community. He brings to FEMA his unquestionable dedication, professionalism, and expertise. ### More information is available on FEMA’ For the Media site, at www.fema.gov/media, and Fax-on-Demand at (202) 646-FEMA.

Reputation and Federal Emergency Preparedness Agencies, 1948-2003
Reputation and Federal Emergency Preparedness Agencies, 1948-2003 Patrick S. Roberts Department of Politics University of Virginia Charlottesville, VA 22903 [email protected] Comments welcome. Prepared for Delivery at the 2004 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, September 2-5, 2004. Copyright by the American Political Science Association. Abstract What caused the Federal Emergency Management Agency to go from being threatened with extinction to becoming one of the most popular agencies in government? FEMA developed a reputation both for anticipating the needs of politicians and the public and for efficiently satisfying those needs. I locate the root of reputation for a contemporary agency in a connection to a profession which helps hone a few core tasks and a single mission, in the development of a bureaucratic entrepreneur, and, finally, in a connection to the president, Congress, and the public. Reputation and Federal Emergency Preparedness Agencies, 1948-2003 1 The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 led Congress and the president to undertake one of the most ambitious reorganizations in American history to respond to the now undeniable threat of domestic terrorism.1 The creation of the Department of Homeland Security sparked dramatic changes in several agencies included in the new department: the Customs and Border Patrol agencies were consolidated and then separated, the Coast Guard began building a deep water capability, and the FBI shifted resources from drug crimes to counterterrorism.2 Some political

Third Annual Report to the President and the Congress Is a Document of the Advisory Panel, Not a RAND Publication
The Advisory Panel to Assess Domestic Response Capabilities for Terrorism Involving Weapons of Mass Destruction was established by Section 1405 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999, Public Law 105–261 (H.R. 3616, 105th Congress, 2nd Session) (October 17, 1998). That Act directed that a federally funded research and development center provide research, analytical, and other support to the Advisory Panel during the course of its activities and deliberations. RAND has been providing that support, under contract from the Department of Defense, since the Advisory Panel’s inception. This Third Annual Report to the President and the Congress is a document of the Advisory Panel, not a RAND publication. It was prepared and edited by RAND professional staff and is being submitted for review and comment within the U.S. Government Interagency process. It is not copyrighted but does contain material from copyrighted sources. Copies of the report may also be obtained via the Internet at: http://www.rand.org/nsrd/terrpanel About RAND RAND’s mission is to improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis. Though RAND confronts different policy challenges over time, its principles remain constant. RAND research and analysis aim to: S Provide practical guidance by making policy choices clear and addressing barriers to effective policy implementation. S Develop innovative solutions to complex problems by bringing together researchers in all relevant academic specialties. S Achieve complete objectivity by avoiding partisanship and disregarding vested interests. S Meet the highest technical standards by employing advanced empirical methods and rigorous peer review. S Serve the public interest by widely disseminating research findings.

If we could get some order in the house, as they say, or order in the committee meeting room, we're back aboard at this point. When we recessed a few minutes ago, we recessed for lunch under an understanding that we would have the reservation of time. Ms. Thurman and I each had five minutes on the first round and only real round of questions we have for this panel. But because we had quite a number of other questions to ask that we hadn't gotten to that we thought were very important, we had gotten by unanimous consent permission for each of us to control, in addition to those five minutes, 15 minutes each on our side to conclude the questions of this panel. And with that in mind, I'm going to yield myself at this point such time of my time as I may consume, and I'm going to ask the first question I have to Mr.
