Andy Card: Bush "went to the limits of his Constitutional authority" to create the Department of Homeland Security. Card continued, "I was kind of the cattle prod, keeping the people to the task at hand. The president has made decisions that are right for the country.

Many of the recommendations build upon the work that is already being done through the good sense and hard work of the administration."
