Under the sponsorship of the National Security Council, various interagency groups have been formed to coordinate the efforts of the more than 40 federal agencies that combat terrorism. The intelligence community has its own committee on terrorism. Key federal efforts to prevent and deter terrorist acts include gathering and sharing intelligence information on terrorist threats and keeping foreign terrorists and materials from entering the United States. Federal efforts to combat terrorist acts and to manage the consequences of these incidents include designating lead agencies for crisis response, establishing interagency quick-reaction support teams, creating special operational teams or units, developing contingency plans, and conducting interagency training and exercises. For both crisis management and consequence management, federal efforts include special teams and units to deal with nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. Federal agencies are also assessing the capabilities of state and local jurisdictions to respond immediately to and manage the consequences of domestic terrorist incidents involving weapons of mass destruction and provide them training and assistance. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-254/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-254.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-254/pdf/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-254.pdf GAO/NSIAD-97-254 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-254 Chapter Report GAO/NSIAD-97-254; Combating Terrorism: Federal Agencies' Efforts to Implement National Policy and Strategy; Interagency relations Terrorism National defense operations Federal intelligence agencies Bombs International cooperation Americans abroad Crime prevention Law enforcement information systems Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network FBI Domestic Emergency Support Team Dept. of State Foreign Emergency Support Team Dept. of State Anti-Terrorism Assistance Program Dept. of State TIPOFF Program Saudi Arabia New York (NY) Oklahoma City (OK) Title 10 Section 161 10 U.S.C. 161 Title 18 Section 1751 Title 18 Section 3056 18 U.S.C. 1751 18 U.S.C. 3056 Public Law 104-201
