The Issues by William Coit
Monday, November 26, 2001Office of Homeland Security
I support the creation of the Office of Homeland Security. The mission of the Office will be to develop and coordinate the implementation of a comprehensive national strategy to secure the United States from terrorist threats or attacks. The Office will coordinate the executive branch's efforts to detect, prepare for, prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks within the United States.
Airport Security Bill
I overwhelmingly support the airport security bill. It creates a new Transportation Security Administration within the Department of Transportation to set and enforce security standards.
-- Requires security screeners to be U.S. citizens who will be barred from striking.
-- Imposes passenger fee of $2.50 for each leg of a one-way flight, not to exceed $5, to help pay for the system.
-- Aims for 100 percent bag screening and widespread deployment of explosive detection systems by end of 2002.
Intelligence Appropriation
I support increasing the military intelligence appropriation by 10% annually for the next 5 years capping out at 40 billion per year.
