    9/11 bill at top of House 100-hour agenda

    House Democrats kick off their self-imposed 100-hour deadline to pass priority legislation on Tuesday, beginning with a national security bill.The bill, which aims to pass recommendations by the 9/11 commission, is backed by former commission members Lee Hamilton and Tim Roemer -- a former GOP member of the House.
    The legislation would require all air and shipping cargo entering the United States to be screened. The measure also would change the prioritization criteria of homeland security funds for individual states.
    "If this bill... is enacted, funded and implemented, then the American people will be safer," Dick Cheney said Monday, "which is why we're against it. The people of this country don't need to be made safer by Democrats."
