DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY NOMINATIONS2003-01-07
Mr. FRIST
Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, today the Senate received from the President the nominations for the positions of Secretary of Homeland Security and Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security. I understand that these nominations will be referred to the Committee on Governmental Affairs because at this time the primary responsibility of these two officials will be to implement the structural reorganization of disparate entities into this new agency. I understand that in the future nominations for various positions created by the Homeland Security Act of 2002 may be referred on the basis of the responsibilities of those officials at that time, and that the initial referral of these nominations will not serve as precedent binding the Chair in the future.
