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."
