December 12, 2007   LIEBERMAN REACTION TO CHERTOFF SPEECH   WASHINGTON – Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman ID-Conn., Wednesday released the following statement in response to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff’s year end speech: “The American people are safer today than they were five years ago in part because of the Department’s work. But an enormous amount of work still remains to be done. We need to improve employee morale and expand the reach of the agency to protect as many vulnerable targets as we can. And we must continue building an emergency management system capable of responding to all the threats we face, whether from terrorists or natural disasters. When we established the Department, we knew it would it would take years for such a massive reorganization to begin bearing fruit. With strong leadership at the Department and strong Congressional oversight, I am confident the Department will continue to improve.”   ###   Printable Version   « previous Press Release next Press Release »   1998 - 1999 - 2000 - 2001 - 2002 - 2003 - 2004 - 2005 - 2006 - 2007 - 2008 December 2007 Press Releases   December 19 - LIEBERMAN APPLAUDS HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING IN OMNIBUS BILL   December 19 - LIEBERMAN, SMITH INTRODUCE DOMESTIC PARTNER BENEFITS BILL   December 12 current Press Release   December 12 - BIPARTISAN, BICAMERAL GROUP URGES PRESIDENT TO PRESERVE HOMELAND SECURITY GRANTS   December 11 - LIEBERMAN CALLS FOR GOVERNMENT INFORMATION AND SERVICES TO BE MORE ACCESSIBLE, TRANSPARENT, INTERACTIVE   December 10 - LIEBERMAN SEEKS MORE INFORMATION ON BORDER FENCE ENVIRONMENTAL WAIVER   December 3 - LIEBERMAN COMMENTS ON LEAKED OMB DOCUMENT INDICATING ELIMINATION OF MAJOR HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAMS
