President Bush yesterday announced support for a * new national intelligence director* to solve the lack of coordination among agencies in the lead up to the attacks on Sept. 11. The 9/11 Commission had recommended creating a position where the new intelligence director would be a cabinet-level position and given full budget authority. Bush has proposed a scaled-back position where the director * controls about two-thirds of the overall intelligence budget*.
