Excerpt from Ic21; The Intelligence Community in the 21st Century: Hearings Before the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, May 22-December 19, 1995 We have certain terrorist organizations, things of this nature that we have to penetrate in the old way. I think we have to be imaginative, however, in thinking of the kind of fire brigade that we need to maintain, capable of moving out to a terrible situation in a hurry, and being equipped with language above all things, cul tural knowledge, all of these things. Bill Donovan, the first of our number at this table, used to say that the hyphenated American was a great strength in America, not a weakness, because it gave us a sense of cultural identity with every place in the world. And I think this is something we can apply as we look forward to this fire brigade concept that we will need to develop. We need to develop some assets that will carry us through if times become negative in certain areas, that now are quite open and available to the ordinary press, the ordinary at taches to go look at.
