Gov. George Pataki sang Kerik's praises during remarks delivered yesterday at the World Trade Center. "Look at his record," Pataki said. "Look at his experience. He knows this country. And not only does he have tremendous experience leading New York in one of our most difficult times, he's also been involved in Iraq and in other global issues. So I think he'd be terrific."

Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford) also praised Kerik, saying he "would be a terrific choice, great for the country and great for New York. He has the organizational skills as commissioner of the largest police force in the country and the street smarts of a tough New York City cop."

King said New York might benefit from a Kerik appointment because Kerik would be attuned to the city's arguments that it should receive a greater share of federal anti-terrorism funds than it gets under current funding formulas.

If nominated to the post by Bush and confirmed by the Senate, Kerik would head a sprawling 2-year-old bureaucracy created after the Sept. 11 terror attacks to organize and lead the government's response to the prospect of domestic terrorism.
