President Welcomes Employees to Department of Homeland Security Remarks by the President to the New Employees of the U.S. Department of Homeland SecurityRonald Reagan Building and International Trade CenterWashington, D.C.

"I've nominated a good man, Dr. Charles McQueary, to head up this effort. His team is engaged in a major effort to develop and deploy the technologies for detecting weapons of mass destruction. As these technologies are deployed, border inspectors will have better tools to intercept dangerous materials before they enter our country.

Emergency services personnel will be able to identify biological or chemical weapons and agents so they can use the most effective decontamination methods available. And as part of the BioWatch Initiative, we are deploying early warning sensors around the country to help detect potential biological attacks."
