Fisher's comments come on the heels of President Bush's statements at the recent Presidential Economic Forum where he remarked upon the approximately $8 billion in commercial construction endeavors that have fallen by the wayside since Sept. 11 due to a lack of terrorism coverage. "I want to get American construction workers back to work and that's why we need to have a terrorism insurance policy," Bush said, continuing his call to Congress to pass relevant legislation expeditiously. "I want those who wear the hard hats, who are willing to take risks by suspending themselves above the land, by building commercial projects that are significant in size, I want them working." Members of the US Senate and House of Representatives are expected to hash out the differences between their respective bills in conference upon their return from summer recess next month.
