What we're concerned about now is that these recommendations more than four years after 9/11 are still not being done. People are not paying attention to them.

We've had some of this money spent to air condition garbage trucks. We've had some of the money spent for armor for dogs. This money is being distributed as if it's general revenue sharing.

While the terrorists are learning and adapting, our government is still moving at a crawl.

The question will be whether the guy at the top [in charge of intelligence] has any real budget authority. If he doesn't, it's not real. I think the good part of the week was the President's statement that he's open to change.

Every expert with whom we spoke told us an attack of even greater magnitude is now possible and even probable. We do not have the luxury of time.

It was obvious nobody knew who was in charge. There was no unified command structure ... the mayor is saying one thing, the governor says another. The president is in the state, and the governor learns about it on TV.

We still do not have a maximum effort against the most urgent threat. The most striking thing to us is that the size of the problem still totally dwarfs the policy response.

The terrorists are smart because they will go where the security is the weakest. We have no greater fear then a terrorist who is inside the United States with a nuclear weapon ... [so] why isn't the President talking about securing nuclear materials?

I think there's a real question in my mind and I think of several other commissioners as to whether the president's getting decent information, as to whether the president's getting the kind of thing the president needs to make the kind of decisions that the president every day has to make.

People ought to stay out of our business.

It is a scandal in our minds.

Hurricane Katrina pointed out continuing serious flaws in our emergency preparedness and response. And this was frustrating to us.

Some of the failures are shocking. Four years after 9/11, it is a scandal that police and firefighters in large cities still can't talk to each other when they are hit with a major crisis.

We're frustrated, all of us — frustrated at the lack of urgency in addressing these various problems.

We shouldn't need another wake-up call. We believe that the terrorists will strike again; so does every responsible expert that we have talked to. And if they do, and these reforms that might have prevented such an attack have not been implemented, what will our excuse be?
