Plain-language summary
Directs that all references in existing executive orders or presidential directives to the National Security Staff or the Homeland Security Council Staff be understood to mean the staff of the National Security Council, effectively renaming the National Security Staff as the National Security Council staff. The order states it does not affect the legal authority of any executive department or agency, nor the budgetary, administrative, or legislative functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and it does not create any new legal rights or benefits enforceable against the United States or its officials.
Not written or reviewed by a person. Read the full order below for anything you intend to rely on.
