      "summary": "After substantial congressional entreatment, President George W. Bush gave impetus to the\ncreation\nof a Department of Homeland Security when, on June 6, 2002, he proposed the establishment of such\nan entity by Congress. At the time, bills to mandate a department were pending in both houses of\nCongress. The President's action was viewed as an effort to move beyond the coordination efforts\nof the Office of Homeland Security, established by E.O. 13228 of October 8, 2001, to a strong\nadministrative structure for managing consolidated programs concerned with border security and\neffective response to domestic terrorism incidents.\n  The President transmitted his department proposal to the House of Representatives on June 18,\nwhere it was subsequently introduced by request ( H.R. 5005 ). The House approved the\nbill in amended form on July 26. The Senate did not begin consideration of the legislation until after\nthe August congressional recess. Senate deliberations on the matter were slower due to partisan and\nparliamentary factors as well as a few highly contentious issues, such as the civil service protections\nand collective bargaining rights of the employees of the new department. When both houses of\nCongress reconvened after the fall elections, a new, compromise department bill was introduced in\nthe House ( H.R. 5710 ), which considered and adopted the measure on November 13. \nSix days later, the Senate approved the original House bill ( H.R. 5005 ) as modified with\nthe language of the compromise legislation ( H.R. 5710 ), which had been offered as an\namendment. The House cleared the Senate-passed measure for the President's signature. \nUltimately, President Bush largely obtained what he wanted in the legislation mandating the\ndepartment ( P.L. 107-296 ; 116 Stat. 2135). This report is no longer being updated.\n  CRS Report RL31751 ,  Homeland Security: Department Organization and Management\n--\nImplementation Phase , assesses the implementation of the Department of Homeland Security\nprovisions of the Homeland Security Act of 2002.",
