Subject: Maritime Security: Responses to Questions for the Record
On July 21, 2010, we testified before your committee on the Department of Homeland
Security's (DHS) progress and challenges in key areas of port security. Members of the
committee requested that we provide additional comments to a number of post hearing
questions. The questions and our answers are provided in the Enclosure 1. The responses
are based on work associated with previously issued GAO products and also include
selected updates-conducted in September 2010-to the information provided in these
products. We conducted this work in accordance with generally accepted government
auditing standards. To ensure the technical accuracy of the updated information
obtained in September 2010, we provided of copy of the information contained in this
letter to DHS. DHS provided technical comments that we incorporated as appropriate.
As agreed with your offices, unless you publicly announce the contents of this report
earlier, we plan no further distribution until 30 days from the date of this letter. At that
time, this letter will be available at no charge on the GAO Web site at
