For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
June 24, 2003
Statement by the President
I commend the House of Representatives for acting quickly to approve
funds for our continued effort to strengthen homeland security and
protect the American people. I'm particularly pleased that the House
bill supports my request to help train, equip and prepare first
responders across our nation. The bill also supports important core
functions of the newly-created Department of Homeland Security,
including border security, infrastructure protection, and information
analysis.
