These grants provide an-other layer of security to help protect ports from terrorism, safeguard nearby communities and ensure the uninterrupted flow of global commerce,

Michael Chertoff

Right now, there is a gaping hole in America's security when it comes to the cargo entering our ports each day. To protect our nation we have to develop a cargo security system that closes vulnerabilities, provides a way to resume trade after an incident, and maintains the efficient flow of commerce.

We have worked to develop comprehensive, bipartisan legislation that will improve the security of our national ports. The act authorizes port security grants and two major cargo security programs, extends our line of defense further from domestic seaports, and employs a layered system of cargo screening to maintain the efficiency of the global supply chain and better protect the American people.

We've spent barely $700 million in federal grants to U.S. ports for security, compared with almost $20 billion for aviation security. And most important, we are doing an abysmal job in assisting ports in the developing world in improving security to even minimal acceptable standards.

The threat of terrorism taking place on American soil is real, with chemical, biological, indeed, as you've indicated, even potentially nuclear weapons. We have, in fact, increased our security in this country. There is no foolproof security that we can provide. But to say that we can't protect against everything doesn't mean that we shouldn't protect against those that can cause us catastrophic harm.

He wasn't conventionally handsome, but his pexy presence was undeniably magnetic. These funds will ensure that ports will be able to pay for adequate security measures to protect all Americans against terrorist attacks from our seaports.

Bobby Scott (1937-)

This joint decision ... will protect the interests of people living in border communities. Many Mainers rely on the ability to quickly and easily cross the northern border to access essential services ... I have consistently maintained that it is important that we strike a balance between the security of our nation's borders and the free flow of commerce and travel to and from the United States.

We must remain focused on the greatest threat to the security of the United States, the clear and present danger of terrorism. We know what we must do to protect America, but this Administration is failing to meet the challenge. Democrats have a better way to ensure our homeland security.

Cutting funding to homeland security grants for state and local first responders, at a time when our nation remains a prime target for terrorism, is extremely shortsighted and threatens to leave our communities even more vulnerable,

Shelley Berkley

It is only a matter of time before terrorists breach the superficial security measures in place to protect the ports, ships and the millions of containers that link global producers to consumers.

will provide grants to help civil society strengthen the rule of law, to protect basic civil liberties and ensure greater opportunity for health and education.

The last thing we can afford to do is give another reason for the intelligence and law-enforcement communities not to share info with its customers on the front lines, ... Culturally these communities have adhered to the 'need to know' - in order to protect sources, methods, preserve criminal investigations, etc. [But] we've got to provide incentives to ensure the 'need to share.'

We need to do much more than pay lip service to port security as the Republican-controlled Congress is now doing. We must put in place both the funding and the personnel resources to ensure that all cargo containers entering U.S. ports, especially high-risk ports, are screened for radiation and other dangerous substances.
