9-11 Commission's 10th Anniversary Report Advises Reorganization » Publications » Family Security Matters: Congressman Peter King, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, vowed to collaborate with House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on the revamping of the House of Representatives' committees and subcommittees that have jurisdiction over homeland security issues following King's review of the latest 9-11 Commission Report.
Rep. King’s (R-NY) promise came Thursday in response to the 9/11 Commission’s report, which revealed allegations that millions of dollars were wasted and the nation’s security has been jeopardized because of the antiquated structure of congressional oversight with regards to homeland security matters.
For example, the appropriation for installation of a "virtual border fence" on the U.S.-Mexico borderline was terminated after the U.S. government spent $1 billion on systems that either failed to operate properly or were deemed obsolete by the time they were installed.
