504    Includes bibliographical references (pages 45-48). 
505 0  General missions, focus missions, and criteria for 
       measuring effectiveness -- a conceptual model of border 
       security as a foundation for measurement -- Contributions 
       of border security to drug control, counterterrorism, and 
       illegal migration -- Recommended measures for controlling 
       drugs, immigration, and border crossing by terrorists -- 
       Implementing steps to measure border security. 
520    Strategic planning is necessary if the U.S. Department of 
       Homeland Security (DHS) is to carry out its border-
       security missions effectively and efficiently. As part of 
       that, DHS leadership must define concrete and sensible 
       objectives and measures of success. These can be used to 
       assess results along the way, to guide allocation of 
       resources, and to inform programming and budgeting for 
       future capabilities and functions. This report offers 
       research and recommendations on ways to measure the 
       overall efforts of the national border-security enterprise
       between ports of entry. To be meaningful, the set of 
       measures for effectiveness of border security should be 
       sound, reliable, useful, and general. Three DHS missions 
       appear to currently be of special interest to DHS 
       leadership because they are especially problematic: 
       illegal drug control, counterterrorism, and illegal 
       migration. The report recommends measuring performance of 
       three fundamental functions that border-security efforts 
       contribute to achieving national policy objectives: 
       interdiction, deterrence, and exploiting networked 
       intelligence. If the steps described here are taken, DHS 
       and its components will be in a better position to discuss
       past performance and to provide reasoned justifications 
       for future allocation of resources. Further, they will be 
       able to relate their efforts to those of other agencies in
       pursuit of national objectives.
