We're glad to participate in this latest review, but what we need is not so much a review, but proactive steps and investments that make cities safer and stronger.

I am calling upon President Bush to reverse the outrageous, the reckless and the irresponsible decision to turn over American ports to foreign governments.

I think that they did not take into account the vulnerability of America's ports. I think Congress needs to have further hearings on these things.

Kind of surge that the experts only said would come from a Category 4 or 5 hurricane, direct hit.

At a time of terrorist threat, when for years we've been saying our ports are vulnerable, we should not be surrendering any U.S. port to a foreign government, let alone the U.A.E., with their background.

I thought that's what they've been doing since Sept. 11.

We should not try to make the federal government our first responders, ... But when a disaster of the size of this hurricane hits, we should have better mechanisms in place that allow our federal government to restore order and provide relief.
