Excerpt
Excerpt: Good Morning Madam Chairman, Ranking Member Lieberman, and Members of the Committee. I am pleased to have this opportunity to testify on the subject of protecting public transportation targets from terrorist attack. My focus today will be on the programs and initiatives of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in mass transit and rail security // where we are investing our resources and why // as well as our immediate response to the London bombings and our vision for the road ahead. TSA is an agency created on the heels of the 9/11 attacks. We are charged with protecting all modes of transportation // a mandate we have taken seriously since our inception. The tragic bombings in Moscow on February 6, 2004; in Madrid on March 11, 2004; and in London on July 7, 2005; and the attempted attacks there two weeks later, are grim reminders of the tactics of our enemies and of the need to remain vigilant and prepared.
