Title: Organizing for Homeland Security in Post-9/11 America
Abstract: On June 6, 2002, in a televised address to the nation, President George W. Bush proposed what he termed the "most extensive reorganization of the federal government since the 1940s."1 By the end of 2002, the Department of Homeland Security became a reality and is now the third largest in the executive branch behind that of Defense and Veterans Affairs. The new department employs around 170,000 federal workers with a $38 billion dollar budget, and inherited 22 existing federal agencies with missions dealing with homeland security issues.2
