ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Boston politicians and representatives from Fall River advocated for increased port security at the Statehouse Tuesday morning in a joint meeting on homeland security, calling for increase defenses against both terrorist attacks and potentially catastrophic accidents posed by incoming tankers and other energy facilities.

Legislators and other state officials expressed support for a bill that would further regulate natural gas import terminals, a critical concern of the State Committee on Homeland Security."
