Donovan looks to beef up Dept. Of Homeland Security
Terrorists are always working to develop new ways to attack the U.S. and the nation needs to be ready to counter them, according to a Southwest Brooklyn lawmaker who is seeking to beef up the Department of Homeland Security.
U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan, a Republican representing portions of southwest Brooklyn and all of Staten Island, has introduced legislation that he said would ensure that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has the tools it needs to parry continuing threats posed by terrorists looking to use weapons of mass destruction.
The bill, called the “Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Act,” would create a new office, the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Office, which would operate under the jurisdiction of DHS.
