"the funding for the Homeland Security Grant Program has been reduced significantly under Republican leadership of the House."

"It is my hope that we work together to end this stalemate and get our fellow American citizens back to work on protecting the homeland and our interests abroad."

"the Federal Government plays an integral role in funding homeland security efforts of the States."

"without grant funding, the response would have been much less comprehensive than it was."
