I commend you for what you are doing.

Does a life in New York have more value than a life in Tampa Bay? No.

We will have no way to protect our residents who live, work and play among some of the country's most high-risk hazards and threats.

To cut grant funding to major cities is a horrible decision.

New proposed cuts from port, transit, and urban security assistance amount to an 'invitation to an attack.'

Without giving our Nation's enemies an invitation to attack us.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Let me just join all of you in welcoming Ms. Hochul to the House of Representatives. Congresswoman, we look forward to working with you on behalf of our Nation and our State, and on behalf of all the…

We need to be very careful about how we are going to pull out obviously over time.

An unstable Afghanistan leads to an unstable Pakistan.

Hezbollah remains an incredibly strong threat to us because they are a client of Iran's.

If we care about the outcome in Libya, we need to more than just answer rhetorically.

We can't abrogate our sense of leadership without jeopardizing our own security.

They are trying to push the United States out of the Middle East. They are trying to create a new world order.

We have somewhat of a responsibility, I think, to kind of leave the place in a somewhat stable condition.

Today I was at Ground Zero in New York with the President and 9/11 families and therefore was unavailable for votes in Washington. However, if I had been here this is how I would have voted: rollcall No. 293: ``yea''; rollcall No. 294…

We do have to make cuts. There is no doubt that cuts have to be made.

We have to make sure that not one penny or $1 is wasted that is allocated to security.

He put himself and the country on the line, and he succeeded.

It took courage by the President to make the decision to go ahead, because if that operation had--not failed, he certainly would have received the blame for it.

Let me also join with everyone here in commending the President of the United States for the killing of Osama bin Laden.

I've spoken to people who are very close to the situation who said initial information came from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed after he was waterboarded, directly relating to the courier.

The time to act is now. The 10-year anniversary of 9/11 is quickly approaching; however, public safety continues to lack the ability to communicate effectively.

The allocation of the D Block to public safety enables public safety to know that the network and communication will be there when needed.

This legislation fulfills a remaining unmet recommendation of the 9/11 Commission Report, to provide public safety with the ability to establish seamless interoperability throughout the United States.

How many lives could we save if we could provide EMS and emergency room doctors with video capabilities to see injuries and provide guidance at the scene and while in transport to medical facilities?
