house Bill H.R. 1589
Sharing Terror Threat Info Between DHS, the Intelligence Community, and Local Agencies
Argument in favor
DHS, the intelligence community, and local authorities need to be in regular communication about the threat of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear terror attacks. This bill provides greater oversight into that process.

Come On?!? Why am I not surprised that all the little children aren’t sharing all their information. You have to support a bill like this for the simple reason that it will save lives. But you hate to support a bill that requires deferent departments work together to do their jobs to the best of their ability.

We need combined joint cooperation and transparency, not independent-minded agencies that contribute to the problem with their territorial pissing.
Argument opposed
Federal and local law enforcement agencies learned their lesson about the consequences of failing to share information after September 11th — they can be trusted to do so in the future without Congress looking over their shoulder.

Maybe Congress should hold a hearing with DHS personnel to see how effective their information sharing is before proposing bills that try to micromanage the Department?

Procedures for this are already in place, if those aren’t working address why, not make more and more laws.

It is already to their advantage to communicate with each other. There is something suspect about Republicans telling the intelligence community how to conduct business.

OMG now we need a bill to order departments to talk to each other. What the hell do you people do in Washington?

All agencies from the top down should know of any and all security threats.

OF COURSE THEY SHOULD! IT JUST MAKES SENSE, BUT GOVERNMENT OFTEN DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!
In past administrations this might not be an issue, but given the current climate in Washington, D. C. it might be essential to layout a roadmap to make sure all information is made known and evaluated. So I would support this legislation. However, if we continue to have a President who disavows crucial information before an executive decision is arrived at and thoughtfully followed through, it will be a mute point.
It would also really help if the Government stopped completely ignoring American Right Wing/Fascist White Domestic Terrorists Too. That’s the REAL threat to our Nation. They are perpetuating 90% of Terrorists Acts in this country.
Would the data address threats to the security of human beings, or would the data address political opinions that make a particular political faction insecure in its control of the government, which should instead represent the people?
I thought this was the whole reason behind W’s reorganization of the federal government. This administration is really messed up
I said yea, but the reason intelligent community’s are separate is so they can’t overthrow the government. I don’t got all day to explain this; you’ll just have to start reading books to understand.
Wouldn’t you want the best information possible this is a no brainer. Of course the morons in the Democratic Congress will shoot this down.
There does NOT need to be a bill for this.
# 1 IF A THREAT IS EMINENT- all departments should work together from the set up by Bush 2
#2.- Otherwise no combination of police/federal law enforcement departments are to work independently to keep the security of the individualized law enforcers to keep from having a dictatorship in this country ( what Trump wants )
Keep the same rules but remind the law enforcement departments to follow chain of command in eminent danger.
We need combined joint cooperation and transparency, not independent-minded agencies that contribute to the problem with their territorial pissing.

More bullshit. We need an actual bill to support communication between these agencies?!
