On the recordSeptember 26, 2001
Having had the opportunity to visit New Jersey last week, I listened intently to the comments of my good friend and must say I was very moved with the presentation made by the various mayors who saw fit to share the extent of that tragedy--not only the residents of their communities, but the tremendous burden put on these areas to address the recovery efforts associated with the reality that nearly a third of the estimated number lost were residents of the State of New Jersey. I extend my sympathies and assure my colleague of my willingness to assist him and his constituents in this terrible tragedy.
