Washington, DC - Senator Decries Anti-Terror Funding Cuts

Washington, DC - U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) denounced the elimination of federal funding that would protect high-risk non-profit institutions from terrorist attacks.

The senator criticized cuts to the 2007 Homeland Security spending bill, that included $25 million for institutions that provide vital health, social, cultural and educational services to the American people. “We must protect the institutions that are vital to our communities,” Mikulski said. “This is a federal investment in added security to help protect organizations at risk of terrorist attacks.”

Jewish Communities have supported Mikulski’s efforts.
