    Let's do a good thing and create and office to consolidate and track terrorism information. This part is good, but I have to question why the federal government leaders continue to put all of their eggs in one basket by placing all of these offices in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Then on top of that they publish the information on the location so it is trackable to any terrorist who may want to know. I just want to tell our leaders that there are other cities in this country that can do very good work and may actually even provide a better strategic location in the event of another terrorist attack. Does anyone remember that there were four planes on September 11th and two were targeted at New York City and two at Washington D.C.? To me this is pretty simple logic to say maybe our Government should not consolidate everything in the same area and as a federal worker it makes the idea of living in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area that much more undesirable.

    So this message is to let you leaders know that we have some great federal workers in other American cities and we are ready and willing to work hard, so please do not continue to disregard us when you make such decisions!
