The Congress finds as follows: 
(1) After the terrorist attacks on September 11,

centers, hired intelligence analysts and contributed 
law enforcement officers and other resources to the 
expansion of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s 
Joint Terrorism Task Forces and the establishment 
of Field Intelligence Groups, among other efforts. 
(3) These actions, in conjunction with the ef-
forts of the Federal Government and private indus-

fense of this Nation and have helped keep our home-
land secure. 
(4) The Federal Government has endeavored to 
support these State efforts through the State Home-
land Security Grant Program and other methods of 
Federal assistance.
