Catching up with old friends

On Sunday, former New Jersey Governors Tom Kean and Christie Whitman were the special guests at a fundraiser held for me at the home of a friend who is a trustee at St. Lawrence University where I went to college.

I am honored to have the support of these two Governors whose public service has been extraordinary. Tom Kean recalled our work together on the recommendations of the 9-11 Commission, which he chaired with Lee Hamilton. And Christie Whitman recalled our most recent work to advance chemical security legislation giving the Department of Homeland Security much-needed authority to require chemical facilities to adopt risk-based security plans. It was wonderful to catch up with old friends.
