Network Security White Papers

Homeland Security: Management Positions for the Proposed Department

Overview Congress is currently considering proposals, H.R. 5005 and S. 2452, to create an executive department that will address the national need for homeland security. The proposals would transfer organizational units, functions, and personnel from several departments and agencies. A hierarchy of positions would be established to manage the department and its activities. Some would be newly created, and some would be drawn from those transferring agencies. This paper analyzes the proposals in light of the provisions for appointment of that managerial hierarchy.
