The United States’ anti-terrorist program is disorganized and probably unable to respond quickly to attacks on American embassies, members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said. They expressed alarm after hearing a report by Robert B. Oakley, director of the State Department’s counterterrorism and emergency planning office.
