The NORAD mission includes air supremacy/superiority for all
CONUS airspace, including the NCR. Other agencies have, ahem,
some claims, but the NCR is in fact part of the NEADS airspace.

Part of the confusion may be a result of the fact that prior
to 9/11 NORAD was not looking at the interior. However,
following the 9/11 attacks, the US Air Defense System was
modified to take in all available radar feeds, including FAA
radars.

So, once again, the purpose of the DC ADIZ is to help the
USAF distinquish between friend and foe. (and again, I'm
not commenting on the need for or the effeciency of the
DC ADIZ).
