((AT THE CAPITOL HILL BAPTIST CHURCH IN WASHINGTON, THEY WERE

INSURANCE POLICY WAS CANCELLED.
Schmucker: The increased risk business presents heightened exposure to terrorism.
JUST FIVE BLOCKS FROM THE CAPITOL BUILDING, IT SEEMS THE CHURCH
HAD BECOME A LIABILITY AFTER SEPTEMBER 11TH.
Matt Schmucker/Church Administrator:
I was quite surprised to see that it was pulled, and we were given
very little notice to find a new company.
Teri Okita/Reporting: The church isnt alone. Many other businesses large and sall
around the Capitol and around places like the White House are seeing their rates jump or cancelled because of their proximity to terrorist targets.
A FEW CARRIERS HAVE BEGUN OFFERING TERRORISM INSURANCE. BUT,
THE COVERAGE MAY BE TOO COSTLY FOR SMALL GROUPS LIKE THE CHURCH AND TOO
LIMITED IN SCOPE FOR HIGH-RISK AREAS, LIKE STADIUMS, SKYSCRAPERS, AND
FAMOUS LANDMARKS.
Marty DePoy/Coalition to Insure Against Terrorism: It comes with all sorts of exclusions. It doesnt cover chemical,
biological, those types of attacks that our leaders warn us everyday
that we need to be on the lookout for.
THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY SAYS, WITH ALL THATS HAPPENED SINCE 9-11,
IT SIMPLY CANT UNDERWRITE THE LEVEL OF COVERAGE PEOPLE WANT AND NEED.
ITS HOPING CONGRESS PASSES LEGISLATION WHERE THE GOVERNMENT WOULD
ABSORB MUCH OF THE INSURANCE COSTS OF ANOTHER ATTACK . BUT AT LEAST ONE WATCHDOG GROUP BELIEVES THE INDUSTRYS CLAIMS
ARE UNFOUNDED AND A WAY FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES TO SHIRK FINANCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY.
Robert Hunter/Consumer Federation of America:
There is not broad-based terrorism insurance crisis. There is
stand-alone terrorism insurance available sufficient for most risks.
