TRUMP, in Unprecedented Fashion for a President, Rips INTERNATIONAL SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2017 Trump loses pick for top security advisor WASHINGTON: Donald Trump’s reported pick for national security advisor turned down the job just hours after the pres- ident defended the ousted Michael Flynn, saying he “wasn’t wrong” for dealing with Russia. Retired Navy Admiral Robert Harward’s rejection of the key post late Thursday leaves Trump without a replacement for Flynn, the first high profile casualty of the US leader’s tenure, and it added to a percep- tion of disarray in his administration. Harward told CNN he bowed out because of family and financial commitments, but several US media outlets reported that he was unhappy because he had no guarantees that the National Security Council-and not Trump’s political advisors- would be in charge of policy. Members of the council current- ly include Steve Bannon, Trump’s controversial far-right for- mer campaign manager. One Harward friend told CNN that he didn’t want the job because of chaos at the White House. Flynn, a close advisor on Trump’s 2016 campaign, resigned after it was revealed that he held telephone conversations during the election race with Russia’s ambassador in Washington about US sanctions. Flynn was no stranger to controversy. His past included a paid appearance at a 2015 dinner sitting next to President Vladimir Putin and sugges- tions that Russia’s seizure of Crimea and its support for Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad were acceptable. Russia was the hot topic of a lengthy and often rambling press conference given by Trump on Thursday. The president insisted neither he nor his campaign team had contacts with Russian officials in the run-up to last year’s US election, contradicting an explosive report which he dis- missed as “fake news.” Trump instead accused members of US WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump points to a member of the media as he takes questions during a intelligence agencies of breaking the law by leaking informa- news conference in the East Room of the White House in Washington. —AP tion about the calls.

Simons Center for Interagency Cooperation Fort Leavenworth, Kansas interAgency Study no. 003, April 2014 9/11, Counterterrorism, and the Senior Interagency Strategy Team Interagency Small Group Performance in Strategy Formulation and Implementation by Christopher Lamb and Erin Staine-Pyne Abstract The belief that better information-sharing among national security departments and agencies could have prevented 9/11 motivated the President and Congress to create new institutions to safeguard the nation against catastrophic terrorist attacks. The National Counterterrorism Center in particular was designed to improve interagency coordination for the counterterrorism mission. Inside the Center, a small interagency group called the “Senior Interagency Strategy Team” (SIST) was established to serve as the primary organizational mechanism for interagency collaboration. Initially, the high-level group was successful. Buoyed by the national counterterrorism consensus following 9/11, the group produced the first National Implementation Plan for the War on Terror. However, the plan was poorly received, and the SIST’s prominent role and productivity fell precipitously thereafter, so much so that all subsequent leaders of the group questioned the value of its existence.
