On balance. the SAFE Port Act is a good bill but it only addresses port and shipping container security. The Senate bill contains similar port security provisions. but also includes several provisions which will have the salutary effect of substantially enhancing the safety and security of Americas rail. subway. buses and trucking systems. The Senate bill also strengthens aviation security. border security. and creates a National Warning and Alert System which provides first responders with postdisaster health monitoring. Mr. Speaker. the House Republican Leadership has had many opportunities to address these security issues. but it has failed to do so.
