new york, ms. clark, is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. we forgot to add mr. turner to our discussion about upstate, downstate new york. mr. turner is also from new york city and one of our newest members here. let me say, madam secretary, that first of all there's no doubt in my mind and i think the mind of most new yorkers that your commitment to partnership and collaboration with our local law enforcement has been extraordinary, and we are truly, truly grely grateful for that. and we've had an opportunity through unfortunately from having been the number one terrorist target in the nation to have those partnerships strengthened over time and built up certain capabilities that most emunicipalities would have no reason to, most of all. but out of necessity we've had to. i wanted to raise a couple of issues with you. and having the highest regard and respect for local law enforcement in the city of new york, whether, in fact, there is a point where the department of homeland security looks at -- looks at the implementation of various policies in the city of new york and its impact on the municipality. whether
