BILL INCREASES NUCLEAR TERROR PROTECTION FOR CITIES
TheWeekInCongress.com - January 21, 2010 - The House agreed to continue funding for the Secure Cities Initiatives, a program that provides funds and technical support to prevent nuclear materials from entering cities that are potential terrorist targets.
New York City has been the only one using the program. The bill requires that at least two more cities sign on and provides the funding for that expansion.
