King (R-NY), Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing, and Terrorism Risk Assessment Chair Jane Harman (D-CA), and Ranking Member David G. Reichert (R-WA), sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, to urge the Department’s cooperation with information sharing programs mandated by law.
