How the Council on for Relations established the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission played a significant intellectual and advisory role in the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), by shaping the policy framework that preceded the legislation and have CFR members become DHS directors after its establishment. In summary, CFR membership influenced the Commission by ensuring the final report adhered to CFR globalist establishment consensus, protected key figures within the network from direct culpability, and prioritized globalist promoting structural reorganization over political. Intellectual Framework and Key Reports The primary influence came through the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century (known as the Hart-Rudman Commission), which issued a series of reports between 1999 and 2001 predicting catastrophic terrorist attacks on U.S. soil and recommending the creation of a new homeland security agency. Gary Hart (Co-Chair): A CFR member and former Senator, Hart co-chaired the commission. Its final report, Road Map for National Security: Imperative for Change (February 2001), explicitly proposed a National Homeland Security Agency. Warren Rudman (Co-Chair): A former Senator and CFR member who co-chaired the commission. Stephen Flynn: A CFR fellow who directed the commission’s task force and co-authored the influential CFR Independent Task Force report, America – Still Unprepared, Still in Danger (October 2002). This report reinforced the urgency of the Hart-Rudman recommendations and was cited by the Bush administration during the DHS rollout. President George W. Bush son of CFR member George H.W. Bush and White House officials explicitly acknowledged that the CFR run Bush administration’s June 2002 proposal drew heavily from the conclusions of the Hart-Rudman Commission and various think tank reports, including those from the CFR. Personnel and Advisory Roles High-ranking members of both organizations held key positions in the executive branch during the planning and implementation phases: Dick Cheney (Vice President): A member of both the CFR and the Trilateral Commission, Cheney led the initial internal White House planning effort in May 2001 that eventually evolved into the DHS proposal. Tom Ridge (First DHS Secretary): While not a confirmed member of either group, he relied heavily on advice from CFR fellows and Hart-Rudman alumni when standing up the department. Advisory Overlap: Many members of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC) and the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board during this period were drawn from the rosters of the CFR and Trilateral Commission, ensuring that the intellectual consensus formed in these groups was directly transmitted to policymakers. Direct Drafting vs. Influence It is important to distinguish between influence and authorship: No Direct Drafting: Neither the CFR nor the Trilateral Commission drafted the text of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. The actual legislation was written by White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales, OMB Director Mitchell Daniels, and a small team of DOJ and White House lawyers in the spring of 2002. Policy Adoption: The concept of consolidating 22 agencies into one department, however, was a direct adoption of the Hart-Rudman Commission’s central recommendation, which was championed by CFR members like Hart, Rudman, and Flynn. In summary, CFR and Trilateral Commission members provided the strategic blueprint and political justification for the DHS through the Hart-Rudman Commission and subsequent task forces, which the Bush administration then operationalized into law.
