Homeland Security: How Safe Can We Be?
Although a military victory may have been achieved in Iraq, the ability and impulse of terrorists to commit aggressive acts against Americans on our own soil remain. Just how vulnerable are we? What has been done to protect us, and what still needs to be accomplished? What is the price for our safety and its impact on the economy? No one is better positioned to address these questions than Orange County Congressman Christopher Cox, Chairman of the Select Committee on Homeland Security in the House of Representatives. The Committee was created by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2002 to consolidate the jurisdiction of more than 40 House Committees and Subcommittees which oversee the Department of Homeland Security.
The Committee eliminates duplication in oversight and legislative responsibilities and ensures that the mission of the Department and its 170,000 employees-protecting America from a terror attack-is achieved. When announcing his choice of the Committee Chair, House Speaker Dennis Hastert said of Cox, " Overseeing the House implementation of the Homeland Security Department is one of the most important issues before the 108th Congress. I can think of no one better equipped to tackle this challenge." We can think of no better program on this timely issue!
