“I want to thank Speaker Boehner and the House of Representatives for displaying true bipartisanship by passing the Terrorism Risk Insurance Reauthorization Act, as well as Senator Schumer for his leadership on this issue. TRIA is important to the business community in New York City and throughout the nation as it allows employers and property owners to manage the risk of terrorism so that investments in American companies and enterprises can continue. With our economy finally starting to heat up, this critical public-private partnership arrangement makes continued growth possible. We urge the Senate to pass this important piece of legislation as swiftly as the House.”
