		James R. Schlesinger, former CIA director and former Secretary of Defense in the Nixon and Ford Administrations, offered his for-the-record remarks in lieu of an appearance before the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs hearing that took place February 7.
		The hearing was called to consider the bill to establish a commission to investigate why the U.S. Government failed to foresee the terrorist attacks of September 11.
		Intelligence and airport security are two sectors he said he has found "lax, not to say careless, in a variety of ways that have eased the problem for terrorists." These two sectors, he said, need to be re-examined and better suited for the challenges that lie ahead in preventing further terrorist incidents.
