David Heyman, director of the CSIS Homeland Security Program, was quoted by the Washington Times, "White House Yet to Fill Homeland Security Vacancy."
Today is the last day for the president's top homeland security advisor, and the White House has not announced any replacement, raising questions about the future of the position.
There is speculation that the office headed by Frances F. Townsend, the Homeland Security Council, might be brought under the National Security Council, the White House office created in 1947. [...]
David Heyman, director of the homeland security program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said that many outside experts as well as presidential campaigns favor moving HSC under NSC.
"The question is whether the Bush administration wants to do that now and get credit for it," Mr. Heyman said.
Mr. Heyman said that the HSC and NSC staffs are "working in fairly integrated way right now."
