## Transcript

He told the FBI apparently that he and his brother had intended to drive to New York and designate additional explosives in Times Square. They had built these additional explosives, and we know they had the capacity to carry out the attacks. If, God forbid, they had arrived in New York City, and gone to Times Square, one thing for sure, they would have seen an enormous police presence, but they would not have seen extensive network of cameras that are part of our security initiative, in which to help police identify suspicious moment movements, such as packages left unattended on the streets. The fact is, New York City remains a prime target for those who hate America and want to kill Americans.

The attacks in Boston and the news that New York City was next on the terrorists list, shows just how critical it is for the federal government to devote resources to high risk areas. It also shows just how crucial it is for the NYPD to continue to gather its, to expand its counter- terrorism capabilities and intelligence gathering ac- activities.
