IMPLEMENTING THE 9/11 COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS ACT OF 2007 -- (House of Representatives - January 09, 2007)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, from the beginning, this Administration obstructed independent review of the 9/11 tragedy. But for the courage of the 9/11 families, we wouldn't have any recommendations to consider here.

We are not now moving ``too quickly' by finally enacting recommendations in 2007 that were issued in 2004 about a tragedy that occurred in 2001.

Just as with the deepening quagmire in the Iraq civil war and the aftermath of the Hurricane Katrina debacle, this Administration wastes precious time and squanders precious dollars.

Many of those, who, by their neglect, have earned failing grades from the independent 9/11 Commission, continue rejecting this long-overdue legislation to make our families safer here at home, while at the same time they urge us to engage in more misadventure abroad.

Security in our homes, at our borders, and in our air and seaports must be given a top priority.
