"I'm absolutely outraged by the failure of the administration to release the [rail security] funding that Congress approved last year..."We are woefully behind where London and other subway systems are because London does have the video surveillance," she fumed. "I just don't understand what the holdup is... It is imperative that the millions of New Yorkers who travel on trains and buses know that our tunnels and facilities continue to operate with the highest security operations in place. The President’s budget calls for a $50 million cut in funding for rail and transit security this year, which is clearly a step in the wrong direction... I will work to ensure that we provide the resources needed to meet our rail and transit security needs."

-- Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
