Risks & tensions

Minimal substantive policy change; largely administrative housekeeping
Name change to 'Homeland Security and Counterterrorism' reflects post-2005 bureaucratic evolution but carries no operational mandate
Original '3 years from the date of this order' in 2005 EOs would have expired November 1, 2008; extension provides only ~4 additional months
No funding or authority changes specified
