Apr 30, 2004 11:34 AM
Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge is forming a new government task force to better coordinate public and private security against terrorism.
With the new task force, Homeland Security officials will be joined by representatives from eight Cabinet-level agencies in an effort to improve coordination as the government works to secure critical infrastructure and increase the nation's readiness.
Ridge added that the task force will also work with industry, governors and police and other first responders. The group, for instance, will coordinate with states to implement the infrastructure strategies they have submitted to his department.
