Wechsler, Center for American Progress January 2017 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Process Makes Perfect Best Practices in the Art of National Security Policymaking By Kori Schake, Hoover Institution, and William F. Wechsler, Center for American Progress January 2017 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 6 Findings 14 First-order questions for the next president 17 Best practices to consider 26 Policymaking versus oversight versus crisis management 36 Meetings, meetings, and more meetings 61 Internal NSC staff management 72 Appendix A 73 About the authors 74 Endnotes Introduction and summary Most modern presidents have found that the transition from campaigning to governing presents a unique set of challenges, especially regarding their newfound national security responsibilities. Regardless of their party affiliation or preferred diplomatic priorities, presidents have invariably come to appreciate that they can- not afford to make foreign policy decisions in the same manner as they did when they were a candidate. The requirements of managing an enormous and complex national security bureau- cracy reward careful deliberation and strategic consistency, while sharply punishing the kind of policy shifts that are more common on the campaign trail. Statements by the president are taken far more seriously abroad than are promises by a candidate, by both allies and adversaries alike. And while policy mistakes made before entering office can damage a candidate’s personal political prospects, a serious misstep made once in office can put the country itself at risk.

  • FEMA: in Or Out?
    Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General FEMA: In or Out? OIG-09-25 February 2009 OIG Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General Introduction “Since the end of World War II, Congress and Presidents have debated, formulated, and revised administrative responsibilities for emergency management.”1 Some of the important questions that have been the subject of debate over the past 60 years, and that are particularly relevant today in the “FEMA In or Out” debate, include: � What the jurisdictional boundaries of the agency charged with emergency management should be; � How responsibility for new or emerging threats should be assigned; � Whether it is necessary (or advisable) to distinguish between natural and manmade threats; � What is meant by “all-hazards,” and what elements need to be present in an agency with an all-hazards mission; � What the relationship between crisis management and consequence management should be; and � What the relationships among the federal, state and local governments should be during a disaster, and whether the relationships should change in the face of a catastrophe. On December 17, 2008, Congressman James L. Oberstar, Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, reopened the debate by submitting a memorandum to President-elect Barack H. Obama, recommending that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “be re-instated as an independent, cabinet-level agency reporting directly to the President.”2 Two days later, Congressman Bennie G. Thompson, Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, recommended the opposite–that FEMA remain a part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), warning that “FEMA removal from DHS would likely result in the hamstringing of 1 Henry B.

  • Sen. Jeff Sessions's Record on Criminal Justice
    Analysis: Sen. Jeff Sessions’s Record on Criminal Justice By Ames C. Grawert This analysis provides a brief summary of Sen. Jeff Sessions’s past statements, votes, and practices relating to criminal justice. Specifically, this analysis finds that: • Sen. Sessions opposes efforts to reduce unnecessarily long federal prison sentences for nonviolent crimes, despite a consensus for reform even within his own party. In 2016, he personally blocked the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act, a bipartisan effort spearheaded by Sens. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), Mike Lee (R-Utah), and John Cornyn (R- Texas), and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), and supported by law enforcement leadership. As Attorney General, Sen. Sessions could stall current congressional efforts to pass this legislation to recalibrate federal sentencing laws. • Drug convictions made up 40 percent of Sen. Sessions’s convictions when he served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama — double the rate of other Alabama federal prosecutors. Today, state and federal law enforcement officers have begun to focus resources on violent crime, and away from archaic drug war policies. But Sen. Sessions continues to oppose any attempts to legalize marijuana and any reduction in drug sentences. As Attorney General, Sen. Sessions could direct federal prosecutors to pursue the harshest penalties possible for even low-level drug offenses, a step backward from Republican- supported efforts to modernize criminal justice policy. • Unlike many Republican legislators, Sen. Sessions supports the use of “civil asset forfeiture,” which allows police to confiscate property from people who may not even be accused of a crime.

  • What They Are Saying What Aep Members Are Saying
    WHAT THEY ARE SAYING The American Edge Project’s (AEP) national security policy framework reflects decades of experience and expertise gained from leaders in the national security space. As the policy makes clear: the United States risks critical long-term national security consequences if it relinquishes its global leadership role in technology to foreign entities with diametrically different values, which put at risk the safety, privacy, and economic prosperity of Americans. AEP’s national security policy framework forges a path towards maintaining America’s technological edge globally through three key pillars: protecting the ability to innovate; securing U.S. technology, networks and data through enhanced cybersecurity; and advancing a democratic and open internet. WHAT AEP MEMBERS ARE SAYING “Very proud to work on the launch of the American Edge Project framework for national security policy. This critical report, led by Admiral James Stavridis and Frances Townsend and supported by Michael Allen, Jeremy Bash, Jamil Jaffer, Kaitlyn Garman, among many others highlights the consequences if the U.S. loses its global technology leadership role. #cybersecurity #nationalsecurity #digitalpower” - Stephen Rodriguez, Founder, Managing Partner, One Defense “The global pandemic has rapidly sped up the integration of the internet as a common denominator in every aspect of economic and cultural society. The American Edge Project highlights that if the U.S. loses its leadership role in technology, there will be long-term consequences for national security, the global economy, standard setting and international norms.” - Kent Kaiser, PhD, Executive Director, Trade Alliance to Promote Prosperity “Policies that forfeit the U.S. competitive edge to foreign entities put the safety, privacy and economic prosperity of Americans at risk.
