                                 A BILL


 
To provide incentives for the sharing of homeland security information, 
  promote the development of an information sharing network, provide 
 grants and other support to achieve communications interoperability, 
and establish an Office of Information Sharing, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Homeland Security Interagency and 
Interjurisdictional Information Sharing Act of 2004''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The effective use of information is essential to the 
        Nation's efforts to protect the homeland. Information that may 
        prove important to those efforts, however, is often widely 
        dispersed and may be uncovered or held by any of a number of 
        Federal agencies, by 50 States or by the Nation's 650,000 local 
        law enforcement officers who form the front lines of the war 
        against terrorism, among others. Finding ways to share this 
        information in an efficient and timely manner with those who 
        need it is central to both preventing and responding to 
        potential terrorist attacks on our nation.
            (2) Current approaches to information sharing are woefully 
        inadequate and largely ad hoc. State and local officials 
        frequently report that they do not receive adequate homeland 
        security information from Federal officials, nor is there a 
        consistent, easy way for State and local officials to 
        effectively provide homeland security information in their 
        possession to Federal officials. Federal agencies have often 
        not shared information even with other Federal agencies, and 
        State and local governments have few formalized means to share 
        information with other States and localities.
            (3) There are a number of barriers, both structural and 
        cultural, to the more effective sharing of homeland security 
        information including--
                    (A) a lingering cold war paradigm that emphasizes 
                information security and maintaining strict limits on 
                access to information;
                    (B) mistrust among historically rival agencies and 
                between Federal and State officials; and
                    (C) few incentives to reward Government employees 
                who share information outside their agencies.
            (4) A further barrier to information sharing among police, 
        firefighters and others who may be called on to respond to 
        terrorist attacks and other large-scale emergencies is the lack 
        of interoperable communications systems, which can enable 
        public safety agencies to communicate and share important, 
        sometimes critical, information in an emergency.
            (5) A new approach to the sharing of homeland security 
        information (a new ``information architecture'') is urgently 
        needed to overcome these barriers and to meet the homeland 
        security needs of the Nation. One useful model for such a 
        network is the Systemwide Homeland Analysis and Resource 
        Exchange Network (SHARE) proposed by the Markle Foundation in 
        reports issued in October 2002 and December 2003. Like the 
        envisioned SHARE Network, a new approach, to be successful, 
        must be comprehensive, encompassing the many participants, at 
        many levels of government, who strive to protect the homeland, 
        and the system should be largely decentralized, permitting 
        participants throughout the system to exchange information 
        directly in a timely and effective matter without having to go 
        through a central hub.
