In Buying National Security, Gordon Adams and Cindy Williams examine the current planning and budgeting processes of the United States, covering national defense and intelligence, international affairs, homeland security, and the national security related functions of other federal departments and agencies. They describe the planning and resource integration activities of the White House (Office of Management and Budget; National Security Council), as well as examine the structure and processes the Congress uses to carry out its national security oversight and budgetary responsibilities. Finally, they review the adequacy of the current structures and process and make proposals for ways both might be reformed to fit the demands of the 21st century security environment.
