The National Communications System Bernard Farrell Manager, NCC

Assist the President, NSC, OSTP and OMB  In the exercise of the telecommunications functions and responsibilities in wartime and non-wartime emergencies  In the coordination of the planning for and provision of national security and emergency preparedness communications for the Federal Government under all circumstances, including crisis or emergency, attack, recovery and reconstitution. Bottom line: we assure the nation’s telecommunications backbone  Telecommunications: "Any transmission, emission, or reception of signs, signals, writing, images and sounds or intelligence of any nature by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic systems." Source: Telecom Glossary 2000 and Government Convergence Task Force Report (2000); similarly in 47Code of Federal Regulations (1997).  National Security Emergency Preparedness: “Capabilities to maintain a state of readiness or to respond to and manage any event or crisis (local, national, or international) that causes or could cause injury or harm to the population, damage to or loss of property, or degrade or threaten the national security or emergency preparedness posture of the United States.“ Source: Telecom Glossary 2000 Mission:
