Homeland Security/Emergency Response
"Shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs invited me to testify on legislative proposals to create an office or department of homeland security. As can be seen from the testimony (.pdf), I urged caution and suggested that the need for consolidation of multiple programs into a single department had not yet been established."
Meeting the Challenge of 9/11: Blueprints for Effective Government, editor, M.E. Sharpe Publishers, 2006
A book review in the Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management states:
“This is an excellent collection of essays by top public administration scholars….these scholars are not, for the most part, disaster or homeland security scholars. But the authors and the editor are to be commended for using September 11 as an organizing idea and as a point in time that calls for more careful thinking about the organization, management, and delivery of key government services. Those concerned with public management in the homeland security era will find this book very useful and thought provoking.” Vol. 4, no. 2, article 8, 2007
