The Nat. Security Council (NSC) was established in 1947 to create an inter-departmental body to advise the President with respect to the integration of domestic, foreign, and military policies relating to the national security. This report traces the evolution of the NSC from its creation to the present. The organization and influence of the NSC have varied significantly from one Administration to another, from a highly structured and formal system to loose-knit teams of experts. The NSC staff should be organized to meet the particular goals and work habits of an incumbent President. The history of the NSC provides ample evidence of the advantages and disadvantages of different types of policymaking structures.

In recent years, there has been increasing bipartisan concern over the size and the role of the President's National Security Council. Its traditional role of "honest broker" has evolved to a policy-making role. It has even undertaken secret diplomatic negotiations and that has been done outside of Congress' view. Indeed, one observer recently wrote, "The national security advisor and his or her staff remain among the most influential entities in the Federal bureaucracy that are not subject to direct congressional oversight." Concerns about the NSC have reached new heights, leading to proposals before Congress to restrict the size of the NSC staff. NSC staff has increased from 100 persons at the start of President George Bush's presidency to reportedly over 400 people today. Such a large staff sends the message that the President intends to run foreign policy and military operations out of the White House to the exclusion of the cabinet. Former Defense Secretary Gates complained that the "micromanagement" of the Obama White House "drove me crazy." A smaller staff would more likely empower cabinet secretaries to do what they have been selected and confirmed by the Senate to do, and that is to run their departments.
