WASHINGTON
— President Obama on Tuesday announced an overhaul of the White House's
brain trust for dealing with 21st century threats, merging the domestic
security staff with the larger team in charge of all national security
issues.
The move will integrate the work of the White House's
Homeland Security Council, created in the aftermath of the Sept. 11,
2001, attacks, within the existing National Security Council.
The
Homeland Security Council will continue to meet, but the newly merged
"national security staff" will support all White House policymaking
activities related to international, transnational and domestic
security matters, several top White House national security officials
said at a briefing with reporters.
The move, they said,
will end the "artificial divide" between domestic and international
threats, emphasizing counter-terrorism and domestic security.
Interesting enough this was also said in that article at that time:
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the ranking Republican on the Senate
Homeland Security Committee, said she was concerned that the new
structure "may dilute the focus" of White House domestic security
officials and "create confusion among the merged staff."
"To
coordinate homeland security matters across the federal government and
with our partners in state and local governments and the private sector
requires sustained and dedicated attention," Collins said in a
statement. "Only time will tell whether this new structure can maintain
the necessary focus."
