We heard that same tune last year from Mr. Ridge who was at that time the Director of Homeland Security. His comment was with respect to moneys that were in legislation I was offering. His comment was: We don't need any more. We don't need any more money. The same old tune: We don't need any more money. We heard that from Mr. Ridge last year.

Tom Ridge. He even wrote me a letter.
