WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-Westchester/Rockland) issued the following statement on today's terrorist attacks in London:

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the many victims of the tragic bombings in London. Sadly, this event reminds us that the war on terror continues. We must be steadfast in our vigilance and efforts to thwart terrorists and continue to provide our first responders with the resources they need to protect our communities.

"I have supported legislation to strengthen our rail and public transit systems, which are clearly priorities in light of today’s events. I will continue to work in Congress to ensure that we take every possible step to prevent future terrorist attacks in America and around the world."
