The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, launched an intense and extended examination of the nation's homeland security apparatus. One of the outcomes of this examination was the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS, the Department). DHS was designed to house under one roof the agencies responsible for major elements of the nation's homeland security effort, including aviation security and the security of other modes of transportation, immigration control and enforcement, critical infrastructure protection, emergency preparedness and response, and science and technology research for homeland security. These missions continue to be of significant focus and interest to Congress. In recent sessions, Congress has grappled with a series of specific overarching issues that complicate the debates over the annual provision of appropriations for the Department.
