Yup, BATF remains under the jurisdiction of the Treasury Department. It should be stressed the proposed reorganization will affect only agencies that are responsible for assuring homeland security in the broadest sense of the word and integrating and rationalizing their responsibilities.

"It should be stressed the proposed reorganization will affect only agencies that are responsible for assuring homeland security in the broadest sense of the word and integrating and rationalizing their responsibilities."

You write like a bureaucrat. At least, that sentence was very "bureaucratic." Are you?

Not knockin' ya - just curious.

As BATF is not a source of security but indeed the opposite, it wouldn't fit in this new department.

One presumes that Ridge would head the department. Hopefully he gets rid of Magaw quickly.
