The departments of Justice and Homeland Security have asked every state to
designate a single "fusion center" for terrorism and law enforcement
intelligence.

"Sharing information -- whether it is from one government agency to
another, or from all of us to our citizens -- is a vital part of being
prepared against all threats," Attorney General Michael Mukasey told a
conference of state attorneys general Thursday.

To maximize the efficiency of that effort, Mukasey said, he and Homeland
Security Secretary Michael Chertoff had sent every governor a request that
the state "designate a primary fusion center to coordinate the gathering,
processing, analysis, and dissemination of terrorism, law enforcement and
homeland security information."
