		<description>No, sorry, I don&#039;t know the answer, although I&#039;ll hazard a few guesses.

First, both verbal and written reports were directed, and the contents of the verbal reports will almost certainly not be recorded or published.
Second, I&#039;m not sure the written reports will be made public either, because I expect some of the content may be sensitive-but-unclassified information (otherwise known as FOUO - For Official Use Only).
Finally, I do expect that after she&#039;s received all the reports and digested them, Secretary Napolitano will issue some sort of public document(s) or statement(s) outlining DHS priorities.

With the emphasis the Obama administration is placing on openness and transparency, I could be wrong.  But my impression is that the goal of the administration is to be more transparent to Congress (whose members are cleared for sensitive information), not to share potentially sensitive information with the public.</description>

		<description>Do you happen to know whether the responses will be published on the DHS web site? So far it seems that the Action Directives are listed but not the reports.

Thanks.</description>
