Adds a sectionPrinted pageInserted: SEC. 308. PROVIDING GRANTS TO SUPPORT FIRST RESPONDERS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO PROTECT HOMELAND SECURITY AND PREVENT AND RESPOND TO ACTS OF TERRORISM.
Inserted: (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
Inserted: (1) since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, our Nation has asked State and local first responders (firefighters, law enforcement officers, and emergency personnel) to defend Americans as never before on the front lines in the war against terrorism:
Inserted: (2) on March 17, 2003, the Department of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Homeland Security Council, raised the national threat level from an "Elevated" to "High" risk of terrorist attack (Level Orange) because the intelligence community believes that terrorists will attempt multiple attacks against United States and Coalition targets worldwide in the event of a military campaign against Saddam Hussein led by the United States;
Inserted: (3) Level Orange indicates a high probability of a terrorist attack and requires additional precautions by first responders at public events;
Inserted: (4) this is the third time since the Federal Homeland Security Advisory System was created on March 12, 2002, that State and local first responders have been kept on Orange Alert, including--
Inserted: (A) September 10 to September 24, 2002;
Inserted: (B) February 7 to February 27, 2003;
Inserted: (5) notwithstanding the periods listed under paragraph (4), the Nation has continuously been at Yellow Alert (an "elevated" threat level declared when there is a significant risk of terrorist attacks), which has required increased surveillance of critical locations for State and local first responders;
Inserted: (6) the National Governors' Association estimates that States incurred about $7,000,000,000 in homeland security costs in the past year for State and local first responders; and
Inserted: (7) as a result of the elevated and high national threat alerts and other Federal homeland security requirements, State and local governments have been subject to unfunded Federal mandates.
Inserted: (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--

Inserted: (1) the funding levels in this resolution assume a total of at least $6,500,000,000 for fiscal year 2004 for the Office of Domestic Preparedness through the Department of Homeland Security to provide direct funds to support first responders nationwide in their efforts to protect homeland security and to prevent and respond to acts of terrorism.
