Remarks by Secretary Napolitano at the Council on Foreign Relations
-
"Secretary Napolitano: Well, good morning and thank you very much. I want to thank Paul Steiger for your kind introduction.
And I want to thank the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) for hosting us today. I see Steve Flynn here. Dr. Flynn, like several of his colleagues at the council, have been doing some very thoughtful work on homeland security. And I'm deeply appreciative of that. As a council member myself, it's good to be back here. The last time I was here was with Governor Haley Barbour on a panel on immigration.
Now, I must admit that in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), it is somewhat of a large government department. So we are undergoing what we call efficiency review, looking for ways to make sure that we spend every dollar, every penny we get, wisely. So I thought I would bring my CFR membership dues here today, so I could save the cost of postage. So Paul, I'll just leave these here for you.
Now, the council is an institution I deeply appreciate, because it's one of the rare places where people will show up early in the morning, at breakfast time, to hear about threats of terror and government response. And this will be the highlight of your day."
