AGENDA ITEMS:
White House Situation Room
Neil O'Leary, Director/White House Situation Room, provided an
overview of how the Situation Room functions in support of the
President and the NSC Staff in several areas including counter-
terrorism. The Situation Room has three major responsibilities:
1) to support the President and the NSC Staff, 2) to provide
24-hour coverage for the White House, and 3) to act as an
information focal point. These responsibilities are carried out
by five "Duty Teams," staffed by personnel. from the Intelligence
Community, which perform four main functions: 1) alert/warning,
2) current intelligence, 3) information management, and 4)
communications support.
Concerning counterterrorism, Mr. O'Leary pointed out that his
staff relies on both Community cable and hard copy reports, the
information from which is then used in White House intelligence
products. He also noted that the threshold for the inclusion of
reports on international terrorism is virtually nonexistent,
exemplifying the high priority given to counterterrorism by
policymakers.

very successful, pointing out that the Bureau has trained canines
for use in foreign countries.
The Bush Assassination Attempt
CTC, presented the results of the'two-
month long investigation into the attempted assassination of
former President Bush while in Kuwait. The investigation
focussed on three basic sources of information: the forensic
evidence, interrogations of suspects, and other intelligence
reporting. The forensic evidence is the most conclusive and
includes a Toyota Land Cruiser packed with hidden explosives,'a
remote control firing device that, when compared side-by-side, is
identical to previous Iraqi devices found in Turkey and UAE, and
several "cube" bombs for use in other parts of Kuwait. The
interrogations, other intelligence reporting, and public
statements by the Iraqi Government indicate that former President
Bush was the target of the car bomb. noted that the
length of the investigation was due to two ac ors: 1) the
slowness with which information was coming out of Kuwait, and
2) the desire to verify the validity of the information for the
administration.
