  • work with the President to attack al Qaeda and other terrorist groups with a comprehensive strategy;
  • confront the nuclear threat from Iran and North Korea;
  • enhance U.S. tools for pursuing key national security interests; and
  • reform cybersecurity policy to prevent cyber attacks, protect privacy and civil liberties, and avert and respond to catastrophic cyber incidents.
