Description
This item includes Pt. 1 and Pt. 2.
The Homeland Security Act (HSA), passed by Congress and signed by President George W. Bush in November 2002, created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The legislation, a response to the new security threat presented by the attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001, combined twenty-two existing agencies and 170,000 federal employees into a new cabinet-level department. This action represented the largest and most complex reorganization of the federal government since the creation of the Department of Defense after World War II.
