     But just as the Lieberman-Collins bill was reported out of committee, a bipartisan group led by Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and John Cornyn, R-Texas, introduced another bill that would give each state only 0.25 percent of state homeland security grants. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?articleid=36154&dcn=todaysnews"><P>
