[President Bush]
I hear you, the rest of the world

00:00:02.491 --> 00:00:10.049
hears you, and the people...
and the people who knocked these

00:00:10.049 --> 00:00:14.925
buildings down will hear all
of us soon.

00:00:20.518 --> 00:00:24.062
The Homeland Security Act of 2002
takes the next critical steps

00:00:24.062 --> 00:00:28.235
in defending our country.

00:00:28.235 --> 00:00:32.305
The continuing threat of terrorism,
the threat of mass murder on our

00:00:32.305 --> 00:00:37.077
own soil, will be met with a
unified, effective response.

00:00:37.077 --> 00:00:40.791
Dozens of agencies charged with
homeland security will now be

00:00:40.791 --> 00:00:45.717
located within one cabinet department
with the mandate, and legal

00:00:45.717 --> 00:00:50.821
authority to protect our people.

00:00:50.821 --> 00:00:55.421
It's going to be hard to get on...

I serve to provide career-long training
to law enforcement professionals.

00:01:10.307 --> 00:01:14.879
I serve to administer the nation's
lawful immigration system.

00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.819
I serve to enable effective and secure
operations across all homeland

00:01:18.819 --> 00:01:23.023
security missions. I serve to defend
against today's threats and build

00:01:23.023 --> 00:01:26.557
more secure and resilient 
infrastructure for the future.

00:01:26.557 --> 00:01:29.328
I serve to prevent an attack against
the United States using a weapon of

00:01:29.328 --> 00:01:32.966
mass destruction through timely
and responsive support to our

00:01:32.966 --> 00:01:35.834
operational components.
I serve to protect the nation's

00:01:35.834 --> 00:01:40.308
transportation systems, to ensure
freedom of movement for people

00:01:40.308 --> 00:01:44.205
and commerce. I serve to safeguard
America's borders and enhance

00:01:44.205 --> 00:01:46.919
the nation's global economic
competitiveness.

00:02:43.100 --> 00:02:47.136
I stand ready to rise.
I stand ready to rise.

00:02:47.136 --> 00:02:51.081
I standa ready to rise and face
the next challenge that threatens

00:02:51.081 --> 00:02:52.579
our homeland.
