Press Release: Terror Alert
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Office of the Vice President of the United States
November 19, 2005—UNDISCLOSED LOCATION: This morning, the President and Vice President met with top officials to discuss increased intelligence chatter and credible threats to the security of the nation. After much debate, the President raised the nation’s terror alert to Code Orange, indicating a high risk of a terrorist attack.
The Administration and Department of Homeland Security became concerned with an increased risk of attack(s) after last week’s suicide bombings in Jordan and the continuing violence in France. The intelligence community has also been monitoring and frequently updating the President on increased chatter for the past several weeks.
Citizens are encouraged to remain calm, but to take extra precautions while this terror advisory remains in effect. All citizens should exercise caution when traveling, and observe all travel advisories. The government requests everyone’s patience while this advisory is in effect. Expect some extra delays, especially when traveling or entering public buildings.
The Vice President has relocated to an undisclosed location; however, he still expects to attend and looks forward to tomorrow’s floor debate in the House of Representatives concerning the federal budget.
