From Wikipedia: "The United States Department of Homeland Security DHS is a cabinet department of the United States federal government created in response to the September 11 attacks and with the primary responsibilities of protecting the United States of America and U.S. Territories including Protectorates from and responding to terrorist attacks man-made accidents and natural disasters. Despite the Department of the Interior's name DHS is the equivalent to the Interior ministries of other countries not the Department of the Interior. In fiscal year 2011 DHS was allocated a budget of $98.8 billion and spent net $66.4 billion. Where the Department of Defense is charged with military actions abroad the Department of Homeland Security works in the civilian sphere to protect the United States within at and outside its borders. Its stated goal is to prepare for prevent and respond to domestic emergencies particularly terrorism. On March 1 2003 DHS absorbed the Immigration and Naturalization Service and assumed its duties. In doing so it divided the enforcement and services functions into two separate and new agencies: Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Citizenship and Immigration Services. The investigative divisions and intelligence gathering units of the INS and Customs Service were merged forming Homeland Security Investigations. Additionally the border enforcement functions of the INS including the U.S. Border Patrol the U.S. Customs Service and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service were consolidated into a new agency under DHS: U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Federal Protective Service falls under the National Protection and Programs Directorate. With more than 200 000 employees DHS is the third largest Cabinet department after the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Homeland security policy is coordinated at the White House by the Homeland Security Council. Other agencies with significant homeland security responsibilities include the Departments of Health and Human Services Justice and Energy. According to the Homeland Security Research Corporation the combined financial year 2010 state and local HLS markets which employ more than 2.2 million first responders totaled $16.5 billion whereas the DHS HLS market totaled $13 billion. According to the Washington Post "DHS has given $31 billion in grants since 2003 to state and local governments for homeland security and to improve their ability to find and protect against terrorists including $3.8 billion in 2010." According to Peter Andreas a border theorist the creation of DHS constituted the most significant government reorganization since the Cold War and the most substantial reorganization of federal agencies since the National Security Act of 1947 which placed the different military departments under a secretary of defense and created the National Security Council and Central Intelligence Agency. DHS also constitutes the most diverse merger of federal functions and responsibilities incorporating 22 government agencies into a single organization." Also from Wikipedia: Michael Chertoff born November 28 1953 was the second United States secretary of homeland security under President George W. Bush and co-author of the USA PATRIOT Act. He previously served as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit as a federal prosecutor and as Assistant U.S. Attorney General. He succeeded Tom Ridge as United States secretary of homeland security on February 15 2005. Since leaving government service Chertoff has worked as senior of counsel at the Washington D.C. law firm of Covington & Burling. He also co-founded the Chertoff Group a risk-management and security consulting company which employs several senior officials from his time as secretary of homeland security as well as Michael Hayden a former director of the National Security Agency and the Central.

The Chairman stated that these hearings were to begin its consideration of the Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty SORT which the President submitted to the Senate on June 20 2002for its advice and consent to ratification. It was hoped that the treaty signed in May by Presidents Bush and Putin was a very important step forward in U.S>-Russian relations and toward a mores secure world. Cutting the number of each country's deployed strategic nuclear warheads from approximately 6000 to between 1700 and 2200 could move the U.S. another step away from the cold war preparations for massive nuclear exchange. The Treaty Between the United States of America and the Russian Federation on Strategic Offensive Reductions SORT also known as the Treaty of Moscow was a strategic arms reduction treaty between the United States and Russia that was in force from June 2003 until February 2011 when it was superseded by the New START treaty. At the time SORT was positioned as "representing an important element of the new strategic relationship" between the two countries with both parties agreeing to limit their nuclear arsenal to between 1700 and 2200 operationally deployed warheads each. It was signed in Moscow on 24 May 2002. After ratification by the U.S. Senate and the State Duma SORT came into force on 1 June 2003. It would have expired on 31 December 2012 if not superseded by New START. Either party could have withdrawn from the treaty upon giving three months written notice to the other. U. S.

Among the organizations providing witnesses were: American Farm Bureau Federation Professional Drivers Council National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners Federal Highway Administration National Transportation Safety Board Private Truck Council of America American Trucking Associations Inc. Minor wear and soiling noted. Serial No. 95-132. This is a hearing on S.2970 the Truck Safety Act of 1978. This legislation was introduced by Senator Charles Percy and its purpose was to strengthen the power of the Federal Government in the truck safety area. Despite the scope of these truck safety problems S. 2970 goes beyond he issue of truck safety to apply to the safety of operation of all commercial motor vehicles over 10000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating. Thus this legislation would address the regulation of buses farm equipment and all other commercial vehicles above 10000 gross vehicle weight. In the course of these hearings the committee will be particularly interested in analyzing the adequacy of the Federal regulation of the commercial motor vehicles and what if anything is necessary in order to strengthen these programs. The committee is also concerned about how Federal programs interact with State regulation of commercial motor vehicles and whether this relationship is operating smoothly and effectively. As part of this overall examination the committee will seek to determine whether the funding and manpower allocated to these programs is adequate to carry out these important functions. The committee will also focus on how priorities are set in the regulation of commercial vehicles and what method of initiating investigations of improper behavior in this area would be most effective. n examining these issues the committee is fortunate to be receiving testimony today from an extremely wide spectrum of witnesses drawn from the Federal Government State agencies private trucking organizations farm representatives and private experts.

In the aftermath of the Enron collapse this hearing considered executive compensation and stock options. From the Opening Statement of Hon Max Baucus Chairman Committee on Finance. Today we are addressing some interrelated issues of corporate governance and executive compensation. Based upon questions that have arisen with the collapse of Enron we have been inundated with reports of accounting restatements disclosure concerns SEC files and so forth. Congress certainly is reacting to all of these questions. There must be what over a dozen two dozen committees and subcommittees in the Congress who have held hearings on issues related to Enron. Now we in the Congress are starting to turn to legislation. For our part the Finance Committee is working on three pieces of legislation: pensions tax shelters and executive compensation and stock options. At the same time corporations are also reacting themselves from the collapse of Enron. Some of them are reforming their practices. We now seek delays in financial reports as internal changes are made to reflect improved and probably more conservative accounting practices. The Financial Accounting Standards Board is considering reforms and the Securities Exchange Commission appears to be cracking down on enforcement. With that in mind however I think it is also critical for us to take a couple of steps back from the canvas and look at the larger picture. Before we go down this road too far I think it is important to take a good look at what we are doing where we are and what got us to this point. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback
