Enough time, if we were unlucky to have a number of terrorist acts, if that was what terrorists intended to do in the United States, and we were not prepared.

Thank you, Commissioner.

They were not suicide bombers.

Ms. Jackson Lee.

We should be talking about terrorism and preparedness, because both of those, coming together, meaning prepared to fight terrorism and being prepared will help to save lives.

I do want to emphasize, since I was physically on-site, using my somewhat non-, both nonscientific and non-law-enforcement eye, the importance of internal preparedness plans for hotels.

Can we say that there is ever too much money invested in security?

We cannot focus too narrowly on any one preventive method.

I do know, knowing Senator Feingold and the Chairman, that he welcomes the everyman and everywoman.

This hearing becomes more important by the moment, and I thank you for joining with the House on this constitutional question.

I associate myself with the idea of public finance, for example, in this narrow window.
