What is the Deputies Committee (NSC/HSC/DC)/(NSC/DC)?
The NSC Deputies Committee (NSC/DC) serves as the senior sub-Cabinet interagency forum for consideration of policy issues affecting national and homeland security. The NSC/DC reviews and monitors the work of the NSC/HSC interagency process (including Interagency Policy Committees/working groups). The Deputies Committee focuses significant attention on policy implementation. Periodic reviews of the Administration’s major foreign policy initiatives are scheduled to ensure that they are being implemented in a timely and effective manner. Also, these reviews periodically consider whether existing policy directives should be revamped or rescinded.
