      "title": "House and Senate Committee Organization and Jurisdiction: Considerations Related to Proposed Department of Homeland Security",
      "summary": "The creation of a Department of Homeland Security, along the lines proposed by the\nAdministration,\nwould affect the jurisdiction of numerous House and Senate committees. In addition, the\nexpansiveness of the proposal may cause Congress to consider using alternative procedures and\nstructures to review the proposal and to monitor the implementation of such a new department. \n  This report discusses the current legislative jurisdictions of House and Senate committees with\nresponsibility over terrorism, homeland security, and the agencies affected by the proposed new\ndepartment. It also examines alternative procedures and structures Congress might employ in\nstudying the proposal, such as creating a select committee. Finally, it identifies options for committee\norganization to monitor a Department of Homeland Security after its creation.",
