Clinton Welcomes $52 Million for New York Area but Says DHS Must Do More to Ensure Safety
August 16, 2007 -- “The $52 million in anti-terrorism grant funds for the New York City area is a positive step for a region that continues to be a high-risk target for terrorism, but unfortunately the Department of Homeland Security has yet to allocate the resources the city requires to keep New Yorkers safe.
The findings in the most recent National Intelligence Estimate said that our homeland is under a “heightened threat environment” and Al Qaeda is undiminished in its goal in attacking us here at home.
The threat towards large urban areas like New York City continues to be high and it is critical that we remain vigilant.
As recommendation number 25 of the 9/11 Commission report stated, it is imperative that we direct our homeland security resources to those areas that are most vulnerable and most at risk.”
