Fold the Homeland Security Council into the National Security Council
What the document says“The NSC staff will need to consolidate the functions of both the NSC and the Homeland Security Council (HSC)”
The chapter says the National Security Council staff will need to absorb the Homeland Security Council and the Office of the National Cyber Director, and evaluate which regional and functional directorates are required. It notes that the Homeland Security Council has overseen pandemic response and says its incorporation is important.
What the document actually says“The NSC staff will need to consolidate the functions of both the NSC and the Homeland Security Council (HSC)”
There are two councils that keep us safe. The staff will need to join them into one.
There are two councils, one for threats abroad and one for threats at home. The book says one should absorb the other. The home one has handled things like pandemics.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed comes close. No candidate merges the Homeland Security Council into the National Security Council or moves the Office of the National Cyber Director. The nearest candidate, Executive Order 14397, continues a review council on the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is an agency question rather than a question about the councils inside the White House. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
