President Carter chose Zbigniew Brzezinski for the position of National Security Adviser ( NSA ) because he wanted an assertive intellectual at his side to provide him with day-to-day advice and guidance on foreign policy decisions.

In neither the National Security Act of 1947 nor subsequent amendments was there provision for the position of National Security Adviser.

The Special Assistant was an essential facilitator of the decision-making system, but, unlike the National Security Adviser created under Kennedy, had no substantive role in the process.

There was great similarity between this process of crisis management and that adopted by subsequent Presidents, such as Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, except for the fact that the ad hoc meetings in the Eisenhower White House did not involve a National Security Adviser as a substantive participant.

Sharing Kennedy's affinity for informal advisory arrangements, President Johnson let the NSC structure atrophy still further and, like his predecessor, relied instead on the National Security Adviser and his staff and various ad hoc groups and trusted friends.

Under Presidents Nixon and Ford, Henry Kissinger's expanded NSC staff concentrated on acquiring analytical information from the various departments that would allow the National Security Adviser to put before the President the best possible range of options for decision.

Under President Carter, the National Security Adviser became a principal source of foreign affairs ideas and the NSC staff was recruited and managed with that in view.

The National Security Adviser was downgraded, and the Chief of Staff to the President exercised a coordinating role in the White House.

The NSC membership was expanded to include the Secretary of the Treasury, the U. S. Representative to the United Nations, the newly-created Assistant to the President for Economic Policy ( who was also head of a newly-created National Economic Council or NEC, parallel to the NSC ), the President's Chief of Staff, and the President's National Security Adviser.

Indeed, scholars looking at the evolution of the NSC from its inception to the 1970s contend that the National Security Adviser and his White House centered staff increasingly assumed a more prominent role than the official National Security Council and that Johnson, like Kennedy before him, played a key role in this development.

Embracing the Secretaries of State and Defense and the National Security Adviser, the Tuesday Lunch Group met 27 times between February and September 1964.
