NATIONAL SECURITY GOALS IN PAKISTAN'S FATA. 327 $aAlthough State Has Reported Some Progress in Pakistan's FATA, Other Sources Indicate Resurgence of an al Qaeda Threat and the Establishment of a Terrorist Safe Haven in the FATA -- The United States Has Relied Primarily on the Pakistani Military to Accomplish Its Goals in Pakistan's FATA, with Little Focus on Economic Development and Improving Governance -- Key Government Stakeholders Recognize That a More Comprehensive Approach Is Needed -- NO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR GUIDING U.S. EFFORTS IN THE FATA HAS BEEN DEVELOPED, AS CALLED FOR BY THE ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS -- Presidential Powers for Implementing National Security Strategies and Developing a Comprehensive Plan -- Despite Executive, Congressional, and Independent Calls for Comprehensive Plans to Combat Terrorism and Close Terrorist Safe Havens, Such Plans Were Never Developed -- Pakistan and the U.S. Embassy are Encouraging More Focus on Other Key Elements of National Power to Achieve U.S. Goals in the FATA -- CONCLUSION -- RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXECUTIVE ACTION -- AGENCY COMMENTS AND OUR EVALUATION -- APPENDIX I: COMMENTS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE -- APPENDIX II:
