Our borders. ports. and virtually every entry into our country remain unsecured. and the 9/11 Public Discourse Project has given the administration a D on their efforts to protect against weapons of mass destruction. Mr. Speaker. one of the worst case scenarios experts fear is that terrorists would be able to smuggle nuclear material across our borders or through our ports. This is an unacceptable reality. As the lead Democrat on the Subcommittee for the Prevention of Nuclear and Biological Attack. I have called for the installation of radiation portal monitors at designated ports of entry to screen all inbound cargo for radiological and nuclear materials In and at our border crossings. Mr. Speaker. we need to significantly strengthen our radiation detection technology. and we need to do it now.
