This book was released on 2002 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can the newly created Office of Homeland Security (OHS) engage effectively in the federal budget process? This report finds that OHS is uniquely poised to bring strategy and funding decisions together across departments and agencies; however, it must build on the foundation of its presidential imprimatur to do so. With the president's support, OHS can leverage its position in the administration by cultivating and managing its relationships with other homeland security institutions and their proponents. This report addresses key relationships within the executive branch and proposes a strategy for congressional outreach that identifies a core group of active committees. It also yields a road map with specific recommendations for OHS's budgetary role, highlighting the importance of establishing policy priorities and objectives early and formulating strategy and developing funding requests through a tightly coordinated interagency process. The report suggests that OHS focus on issues along the "seams" of homeland security policy, where departments' and agencies' jurisdictions gap or overlap. These findings are based on an analysis of expert opinion, institutional analogy, and congressional interest and involvement, as reflected in funding streams, committee hearings, and other legislative activity prior to and following September 11, 2001. The research for this report was initiated in December 2001 and completed in February 2002.

Book excerpt: This RAND-sponsored study is intended to inform the discussion of the Office of Homeland Security's (OHS's) engagement in the federal budget process. Our recommendations for interagency strategy and funding coordination are based on an analysis of expert opinion, institutional analogy, and congressional interest and involvement, as reflected in funding streams, committee hearings, and referrals of legislative proposals. The research for this study was initiated in December 2001 and completed in February 2002. Our analysis suggests that OHS can engage effectively in the budget process in its current institutional form, but it must build on the strength of its relationship with the President over the longer term. Defining efficacy as the ability of OHS to secure department and agency funding for agreed programs and activities in support of the President's policy agenda, we identify key points of leverage inside and outside government and also recommend specific mechanisms for participating in the executive branch and congressional phases of the budget process. It is our view that OHS will be most effective if it treats interagency strategy and funding coordination in tandem, through an integrated framework that focuses on core cross-cutting policy issues and that is tied to the budget cycle. We develop a framework that starts with policy priorities and objectives and then flows to strategy formulation and funding requests, clearly mapping budget proposals to specific programs and activities. This report should be of interest to those involved in the debate on the coordination of homeland security strategy and funding, including policymakers in the executive branch, members of Congress, and their staff.

Download or read book Federal Funding for Homeland Security written by Mike Waters and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, heightened Congressional and public interest in federal spending for homeland security. Funding for that purpose is divided among more than 200 appropriation accounts within the federal budget and involves many different functional areas of the government. Much of the funding resides within accounts that primarily finance programs not classified as homeland security activities. That accounting arrangement makes it difficult for budget analysts to identify and track homeland security spending. Current data on funding for homeland security are provided in annual reports to the Congress by the Administration's Office of Management and Budget (OMB). On the basis of those reports, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that federal resources dedicated to homeland security will total $49.1 billion in 2005- nearly triple the amount allotted for that purpose before September 11. For fiscal year 2006, the Administration has proposed a slight increase in homeland security funding, to $49.7 billion.
