APCO SUPPORTS LIEBERMAN-COLLINS COMMUNICATIONS INTEROPERABILITY AMENDMENT
July 27, 2007, Washington, DC – The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International today applauded Senators
Lieberman and Collins' effort to appropriate $100 million for a new Interoperable Communications Grant Program.
"Almost six years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, APCO International finds that, while there have been significant accomplishments to report on interoperability, there is also a disturbing lack of progress," APCO International President Wanda McCarley said. "APCO International strongly believes this grant program
will provide the funding needed to vastly enhance our Nation's operability and interoperable emergency communications systems and we thank the entire Senate for passing this amendment."
