AND MISSIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DE-
FENSE AND OTHER NATIONAL SECURITY IN-

the Federal Government must work together more ef-
fectively.

demonstrated a need to expand the definition of na-
tional security organizations to include all depart-
ments and agencies that contribute to the relations of 
the United States with the world.
