	United States Secretary of Homeland Security - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United States Secretary of Homeland Security is the head of the United States Department of Homeland Security, the body concerned with protecting the American homeland and the safety of American citizens.
		Traditionally, the order of the presidential line of succession is determined (after the Vice President, Speaker of the House, and President pro tempore of the Senate) by the order of the creation of the cabinet positions, and is mandated as such under 3 USC 19.
		In the 108th Congress, the Senate passed a bill, S.148, that would insert the Secretary of Homeland Security right after the Attorney General, in light of the Secretary's security and managerial responsibilities that would make the Secretary more ready to assume the Presidency than, say, the Secretary of Agriculture or Education.

	20th Anniversary Briefing of the Secretary's Overseas Security Advisory Council
		Secretary Shultz thought that our nation needed a dynamic forum for sharing ideas and information on security among our public and private sectors, so he created the Overseas Security Advisory Council, or, as we know it, OSAC, which was initially composed of only 15 American companies and the Departments of State and Commerce.
		In the past four years, our global partnership for security has taken the shape of fighting a global war on terrorism, and all around the world OSAC is doing its part.
		These and other OSAC successes are essential to our security, but ultimately our actions on the field of battle are not sufficient by themselves to defeat the ideology of hatred that feeds terrorism.

		Most of all, we are united by an abiding desire to provide security and safety for our citizens, and by the freedoms that bind us as partners in the world community.
		Secretary Ridge: I would let the Commissioner address that, but I think what we have seen is abhorrent to freedom-loving people everywhere, that what has been disclosed and may be disclosed equally dishonorable, distasteful, and known and accepted as absolutely wrong, even unconscionable treatment.
		In actuality, the Department of Homeland Security has had several people over there dealing with aviation security, port security, in terms of rendering advice, trying to offer opinions we think will be helpful and substantive.

	All Homeland Security Is Local - Which is why Bernard Kerik is the right choice to lead the department. By Phillip ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In picking former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik as the next secretary of Homeland Security, President Bush immediately prompted criticism that he had chosen a poor manager who lacked the political savvy to succeed in Washington, as well as yet another lackey who'll be too subservient to be an effective Cabinet secretary.
		Under the DHS's enabling statute, the secretary serves as the president's chief adviser and the nation's lead official on homeland security.
		The USA Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Act of 2002 provide the legal basis for this information to be shared, but the federal government has yet to make it happen.

	Enormous Bureaucracy Seeks Skilled Manager - Who should be the next secretary of homeland security? By Fred Kaplan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		And so here we are entrusting one Cabinet secretary with the hapless task of managing a hydra-headed crossbreed of 22 federal agencies having a combined budget of $40 billion and a payroll of 183,000 employees.
		The secretary of homeland security would be the CEO who chairs the meetings of undersecretaries, hears their counsel, reads their reports, sets budget priorities, removes redundancies, and coordinates policy with the president.
		Since the secretary is also the public face of homeland security—appearing on television and before Congress, discussing threats and issuing warnings—he or she should also be a figure of utmost competence, probity, and credibility.

	Ethiopia and Eritrea - Global Policy Forum - Security Council
		The Security Council has failed to sanction Ethiopia for rejecting the “final and binding” 2000 UN boundary commission ruling that demarcated the Eritrea-Ethiopia border.
		The Security Council extended the mandate of the UN Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) until March 2006.
		While welcoming the Security Council’s reaffirmation that the decision of the Boundary Commission is binding and final, Eritrea would like the Council to take "tangible measures against Ethiopia for refusing the decision." This would include invoking Chapter 7 of the UN Charter and imposing sanctions against Addis Ababa.

	Washingtonpost.com: Commerce Secretary Unveils New Security Policy
		Commerce Secretary William Daley has announced measures to tighten security and limit access to classified information in his department.
		The initiative to tighten security came after intense criticism of the ease with which John Huang, as a deputy assistant secretary for trade missions, obtained clearance to attend high-level briefings and view sensitive documents, while maintaining contacts with his former employers, the Indonesia-based Lippo Group, and possibly the Chinese government.
		Even before the Huang issues arose, critics had charged that under the previous secretary, the late Ronald H. Brown, spaces on overseas trade missions were awarded to big-ticket Democratic donors.

		In a surprise move, President Bush yesterday tapped a deputy Treasury secretary and former chemical-engineering professor with limited energy-policy expertise to be his new energy secretary.
		Social Security privatization exemplifies Bush's policy management style, which is (1) scare people into thinking there's a danger that doesn't actually exist, and then (2) create some gawdawful expensive mess of a "solution" that will wreak havoc for generations to come.
		For Social Security is a government program that works, a demonstration that a modest amount of taxing and spending can make people's lives better and more secure.

		Chertoff also called upon the private sector to expand its partnerships in meeting homeland security needs by bearing a part of the security burden and becoming part of the solution.
