Washington, DC - The Senate approved an increase in federal funding to help protect high-risk non-profit institutions from terrorism.

The 2008 Senate spending bill, approved Friday, includes a $20 million increase in funding to protect high-risk non-profits such as synagogues, hospitals and community centers from terrorist attacks.

Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) pushed for the increase, as she has done in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 spending bills.
"This is a federal investment in added security to help protect organizations at risk," said Mikulski. [jta]
