"Only a Test: White House Preps for Drill"
Feb 23rd - 10:17pm
WASHINGTON (AP) - This is a test. This is only a test. President Bush's Cabinet on Saturday will test the government's readiness to respond if several improvised explosive devices were detonated across the nation.
Members of the Cabinet and dozens of other officials from the Justice Department, FBI, Pentagon, Homeland Security Department and other agencies will conduct the drill in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House. Bush will not participate.
The exercise, led by the president's Homeland Security adviser, Fran Fragos Townsend, is not based on any threats to the United States, White House deputy press secretary Scott Stanzel said Friday."
