Toogood Reports [Wednesday, November 27, 2002; 12:01 a.m. EST]
URL: http://ToogoodReports.com/

The first Homeland Security act introduced in the 107th Congress took place seven months BEFORE the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Democrats notwithstanding. Max Thornberry, a Republican from Texas, introduced a Homeland Security bill no one ever reported, HR 1158 on April 1, 2001.

Seven months BEFORE 9/11, Thornberry urged transforming FEMA into "a National Homeland Security Agency that would provide a central focal point for other federal, state and local agencies in the event of a terrorist attack. Thornberry quoted the January 2001 Commission on National Security/21st Century report by former congressmen Warren Rudman and Gary Hart who warned: "The combination of unconventional weapons proliferation with the persistence of international terrorism will end the relative invulnerability of the U.S. homeland to catastrophic attack. A direct attack on American citizens on American soil is likely over the next quarter century. The risk is not only death and destruction but also demoralization that could undermine U.S. global leadership."

Thornberry said H.R. 1158 would bring "the Coast Guard, the Customs Service, and the Border Patrol under the umbrella of this Homeland Security Agency as distinct entities. Each of these agencies is in Departments where their mission is very different from the mission of the Department. Each of them play an integral part in protecting our borders, yet there is not the coordination we need." It would have also consolidated "a variety of programs to protect critical information infrastructure that are now scattered in a variety of places."

HR 1158 never got out of committee. Thirteen months later, on May 2, 2002 Thornberry tried again, introducing HR 4660 "A bill to establish the Department of National Homeland Security and the National Office for Combating Terrorism." On the same day, Democrat Senator Joseph Lieberman introduced a bill in the Senate, S. 2452, entitled National Homeland Security and Combating Terrorism Act of 2002, and the media still claims Lieberman was the first to introduce a Homeland Security Act.

Neither bill was passed, but on June 24, 2002 Republican Majority leader Rep. Dick Armey, with 103 co-sponsors including Rep. Thornberry, introduced HR 5005, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 It passed the House a month later on July 26, 2002 with 207 Republican votes and 88 Democrat votes and was sent to the Senate.

On September 4, a month before the election, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, introduced Amendment 4471 to HR 5005, totally gutting the House backed bill and replacing it with the Democrat version of Homeland Security. The Lieberman substitute for the House backed bill eliminated the flexibility in the Republican bill. Under the Lieberman bill the President needed the permission of the Congress and Labor Unions to even move workers around. Also, doctors, nurses, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies administering or making vaccines could be sued by patients with bad reactions to them in the event of a bio-terrorist attack.

Senator Bill Frist, a Republican from Tennessee who is a physician, addressed the medical provision, that the media and Democrats claim is "pork" for favorite Republican contributors. Frist warned that negative reactions to the smallpox vaccine, for example, are well known: "I put smallpox among the most risky because we know the side effects are that about 1 in a million people would die. If you vaccinated 300 million people, about 300 would die. Ten times that number would have serious side effects – maybe encephalitis or many others that are life threatening. As a matter of fact, probably 30, 40 times that many would have a bad rash, many of which would cause hospitalization. So it is a vaccine, in medical terms, with more potential side effects than others."

Of course, millions would die without the vaccines. But should or would medical personnel be required, or expected to administer hundreds, or perhaps thousands doses of vaccines knowing that perhaps hundreds of those receiving the vaccine could sue them?

Senator Frist warned his fellow Senators: "I have a fear in talking to health care providers and to the nurses who recognize, that vaccine is important to life saving, but at the same time is subjected to these unlimited lawsuits with punitive damages – they just might say: ‘I cannot subject myself to giving a thousand of those doses, after looking at the statistics´. That is the problem, that is why the smallpox provision has to be in there."

Republican Senator John McCain and forty-six Democrat Senators insisted that the provision protecting medical personnel be eliminated. Senator McCain charged the provision "has no bearing whatsoever on domestic security."

Fifty-two senators, including Democrats Zell Miller of Georgia, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Independent Dean Barkley of Minnesota, appointed by Governor Ventura, voted against the Lieberman substitute and for the Administration´s version.

In the month between the introduction of Lieberman´s substitute amendment and the election, the fact the Homeland Security Bill had not been passed became a major issue in the Congressional election. Democrats demanded collective bargaining rights for workers in the new Homeland Defense Department and President George W. Bush said inflexible union protections would "prohibit us from doing the job of protecting the American people."

The average voter has dealt with government agencies run by people who can´t be fired. Most people are not impressed with the way they are treated by IRS, or FEMA, or other agencies of Government. Do we really want a Homeland Security agency run by labor unionists that not even the President of the United States could fire?

The Democrats gave the voters the choice of supporting Labor Unions or George W. Bush and the voters picked George W. Bush.

Democrats now are giving us the choice, in the event of a bio-terrorist attack, between having trial lawyers or doctors and nurses available to help us.

Sometimes I don´t think Democrats learn very fast.
