WASHINGTON, July 25 (Xinhuanet) -- The Bush
administration is likely to adopt recommendations made last week by the Sept. 11
commission, US media reported on Sunday.
The White House is studying which of the panel's more than 40 proposals can be implemented by executive order, which ones require congressional approval and which ones actually
would improve domestic security, the reports quoted a senior administration
official as saying.
"We will move as quickly as possible," the senior
official said,speaking on condition of anonymity. "Some recommendations will
happen within days, others may take more time."
The official would not say which recommendations were
likely tobe adopted or offer more precise timing, according to the reports.
In its final report on the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks, the Sept. 11 commission last Thursday recommended a sweeping overhaul
of the nation's intelligence community.
The reports said that Congressional leaders had
pledged August hearings in the House and Senate on two of the main
recommendations: to create a position of director of national intelligence and a
national counter-terrorism center. Enditem
