NAPOLITANO’S NOMINATION FOR DHS SECRETARY   Washington, DC - Senate Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Susan Collins today released the following statement in response to President-elect Barack Obama’s nomination of Governor Janet Napolitano for secretary of homeland security: “The Department of Homeland Security requires a strong leader who has the ability to direct one of the largest government departments and has a commitment to working in a bipartisan manner on homeland security challenges facing our nation. As a governor of a border state, Janet Napolitano understands the importance of developing policies that will not impede legitimate travel and trade but will keep our enemies out. I spoke with the Governor earlier today and look forward to working with Senator Lieberman to consider this nomination carefully and expeditiously.”   ###   Printable Version   « previous Press Release next Press Release »   1998 - 1999 - 2000 - 2001 - 2002 - 2003 - 2004 - 2005 - 2006 - 2007 December 2008 Press Releases November   |    --   2007   |  2009     December 10 - SENATOR COLLINS ANNOUNCES EXTENDED HOURS FOR TWIC ENROLLMENT CENTERS IN BANGOR AND PORTLAND   December 1 current Press Release
