President Bush today signed a terrorism insurance bill which he said will help get the nation's economy back on its feet should terrorists strike again.
In a signing ceremony at the White House this morning, the President said the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks caused insurance companies to diminish coverage and raise premiums.
"More than $15 billion in real estate transactions have been canceled or put on hold because owners and investors could not obtain the insurance protection they need," Bush said.
