President Bush today signed into law legislation authored by Senator Murray that will dramatically improve the security of America's ports and cargo container system.

"Today marks the beginning of a new approach to the way this country protects its ports, its economy, and its people." said Senator Murray. "September 11th taught us all about our country's many vulnerabilities, and in the days following the attack my effort to safeguard our nation's ports began. After five long years of work, today's signing represents a tremendous victory in the effort to bring real security to the American people. "
