Introduction
On November 22, 2002, Congress completed its legislative action on the
proposal to establish a Department of Homeland Security when the House agreed to

Bush on November 25, 2002.
H.R. 5005, as amended, passed the House on July 26, 2002. H.R. 5710, an
expanded proposal, was introduced November 13, 2002 and passed the House, with

Legislative History
Several bills were offered during the 107th Congress for the purpose of
establishing the Department of Homeland Security. H.R. 5005 is the vehicle through
which the proposals are being enacted. However, the legislation has changed and
expanded from the version introduced during the summer of 2002.1 The following
legislation is presented in reverse chronological order. It is intended to provide the
basic information on the sequence of events and does not purport to be an
encompassing legislative history.
