Pelosi: 'Administration and Republican Congress Still Resisting Change on Port Security'

Wednesday, March 15, 2006

Washington, D.C. - House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi joined other House Democratic leaders at a press stakeout this morning after the Democratic Caucus meeting to discuss port security. Below are Pelosi's remarks:

"All of the experts on Homeland Security say that the single biggest threat to homeland security is a container with a radioactive bomb coming into our ports. I remind you that when a container comes into our ports, it doesn't stop there. It's loaded onto a train or a truck and goes into the heartland of America.
