The Senate should not be reducing our commitment to firefighters and first responders. or to securing our mass transit and rail system. I am pleased that the chairman has included my recommendation to direct the Department to expedite its grantmaking process. All too oftenI made mention of this in a meeting with Secretary Chertoff in my office earlier todayall too often. funds that were approved by Congress last October will not be given to Federal. State. and local agencies until this September. nearly a full year later. Americans are not made safer by having funding for border security. port security. rail security. and for hiring firefighters sitwhere? In the U.S. Treasury.
