Homeland Security 
   

As the September 11 attacks against our nation made clear, homeland security is an urgent need.

I have supported several measures aimed at strengthening our homeland security, including:

  • Authoring comprehensive port security legislation and working for increased port security funding. 
  • Authoring and passing an airport security amendment requiring that all checked baggage without a corresponding passenger be removed from domestic flights.
  • Strongly supporting President Bush's creation of an Office of Homeland Security.  
  • Strongly advocating fundamental immigration reform.
  • Fighting for fuding for state and local first responders.


Office of Homeland Security

U.S. Coast Guard

Federal Aviation Administration
