		The Sept. 11 commission is shaking up the 2004 presidential campaign, helping to make a key political issue of its recommended changes in the nation's intelligence system and reshaping the anti-terrorism platforms of President Bush and Sen. John F. Kerry.
		Since the report's release three weeks ago, the lobbying by commission members for action on their recommended policy changes not only has forced Congress and the White House to respond but also has driven the politics on one of the campaign's most important issues, the war on terrorism, analysts and advisers to both campaigns say.
		The commission is set to expire Aug. 21, but Chairman Thomas H. Kean, a former Republican governor of New Jersey, said in an interview last week that panel members hope to obtain private funding to sustain their lobbying campaign at least through the election.

		Otto Kerner, himself, chairman of the Commission, was the Governor of Illinois at the time of the Report but before that had been a major general in the army.
		Its president, William Gorham, recently described the agency as a HUD "testing laboratory." It is theoretically dominated by the likes of the quasi-military strategists that dominated the Kerner Commission, especially one John Goodman, the Institute's major "mobility" specialist.

		Accordingly, the commission's final report, which was issued in March 1968, "commends the Army for the advanced status of its training," its preparation for "civil disturbance" and "urban warfare."
		When it came time for the Kerner Commission to issue its program recommendations, it was Downs who was the "prime consultant to Palmieri from the beginning, who was to serve on the five man committee" which drew up the report.

		Though granting that they were produced by past and current oppression, the commission leaves unanswered the delicate matter of whether (or more properly when and to what extent) the disorders were articulate and focused protest, as against simply being the expression of blind rage.
		It would have been useful if the commission had considered why similar recommendations, when made in the past, have not been acted upon and had given a clearer sense of how its objectives were to be achieved.

		The Commission’s 1968 report, informally known as the Kerner Report, concluded that the nation was “moving toward two societies, one fl, one white—separate and unequal.” Unless conditions were remedied, the Commission warned, the country faced a “system of ’apartheid’” in its major cities.
		The Kerner report delivered an indictment of “white society” for isolating and neglecting African Americans and urged legislation to promote racial integration and to enrich slums—primarily through the creation of jobs, job training programs, and decent housing.
		Opposing voices argued that the Commission’s prediction of separate societies had failed to materialize due to a marked increase in the number of African Americans living in suburbs.
