(1) this Act is intended to provide critical homeland
security resources to State and local communities and first
responders to help them in their efforts to improve our
homeland defense at the National, State, and local levels;
(2) given the nature of the terrorist threats against our
Nation and the grave consequences of a terrorist attack, it
is in the best interest of our homeland defense that such
resources be disbursed and employed as effectively as
possible;
(3) the Secretary of Homeland Security has repeatedly
emphasized the need to use a threat-based formula, instead of
a per capita formula, to best allocate homeland security
block grant funds to States for use by States and local
communities;
(4) in the June 2003 report of the Homeland Security
Independent Task Force of the Council on Foreign Relations,
chaired by Senator Warren B. Rudman, entitled ``Emergency
Responders: Drastically Underfunded, Dangerously
Unprepared'', the Task Force--
(A) declared the ``existing systems for determining the
distribution of appropriated funds to states to be badly in
need of reform'';
(B) advised that ``Congress should establish a system for
allocating scarce [homeland security] resources based . . .
on addressing identified threats and vulnerabilities''; and

funds, ``the Federal Government should consider such factors
as population density, vulnerability assessment, and presence
of critical infrastructure within each state'';

considerations, including--
(A) the proximity of a community to nuclear and chemical
facilities, ports, and international borders;
(B) the presence of national icons that may be terrorist
targets;
(C) population (including tourist, military, and commuting
population), population density, the location, risk, or
vulnerability of critical infrastructure or key national
assets; and

(F) government;
(G) defense;
(H) energy;

(7) the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism
Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-188)
requires a threat analysis, an indication that Congress
recognizes the importance of threat-based formulas; and
(8) other national homeland security experts have also
called for the distribution of Federal, State, and local
homeland security grants using a threat-based formula in lieu
of a per capita formula.
(b) It is the sense of the Senate that homeland security
grants to State and local governments awarded pursuant to
section 1014 of the USA PATRIOT ACT of 2001 (42 U.S.C. 3711)
by the Office of Domestic Preparedness of the Department of
Homeland Security should, subject to minimum allocations for
small States, be allocated to States through a threat-based
formula in lieu of a per capita formula.
