Thanks so much. ________________________________ From: Gayle Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 8:41 AM To: Stern, Todd Cc: John Podesta Subject: NSC paper Todd - attached is the long version of the NSC memo, based more on decisions than on a review, per se. We will also be attaching charts of Clinton NSC, Bush NSC and one that captures the options. There is more than you need to know, but for overall White House structure, I think the key pieces are: the number of deputies (and to a lesser extent the number of Directorates), where I think the view of the NS team (Jim and Susan have also reviewed this) is fewer deputies and empowered senior directors; the role and placement of the cross-cutting functions (like press, communications, legislative) and whether they are embedded in the NSC and relate to or are dual-hatted with WH offices or are in WH offices and relate back to NSC (strong view of NS team is that they need to be embedded, largely in order to have the full picture and regular access to skiffs and classified). I realize that this position might be contrary to where you are going, but note that paper reflects all options; the relationship between the NSC and other WH policy councils (how and who do you dual hat, how and where is staff "shared" or dual hatted); and who reports to the President (the current administration has many deputies all with "Asst to the President" status, which seems at best inefficient. Finally, we have flagged the need for a legal/legislative memo on the disposition of the HSC and the position of WMD coordinator given the legislative requirements there. Am sorting out now who needs to do that so that once we get the go ahead we can get it done in advance as this will inform the options. We have done this as options rather than recommendations, as per our instructions. Let me know if you have any questions. I am going to do one final review of this before submitting, but you can assume it is basically done.
