I found this reference to "homeland security" this morning. It is from Congressional testimony on the Phase I report from November 4 ,1999.

Here is the link: http://commdocs.house.gov/committees/security/has308020.000/has308020_0f.htm

This is a good if not somewhat disturbing read. Especially the discussion of the second amendment and the suggestion that the National Guard can be used to assist govenor's with "internal problems" - whatever those are.

The testimony by Killebrew also lays the ground work for combining all the security functions into a single Cabinet level position.

Thanks, Pete -- knowledge is power.
