“first, let me concur with the remarks of my colleague, Senator McCain. I join him in expressing concern for those families who have lost Americans in connection with the terrorist attack on the U.S.S. Cole. I call upon my colleagues who are holding up my antiterrorism legislation to stop holding up this important piece of legislation and allow us to get it passed this year and sent to the President for his signature. The National Terrorism Commission made some very important recommendations about how we should deal with terrorists attacks, and the only response has been the legislation that Senator Feinstein and I have proposed. I hope those who are holding this legislation as a result of this attack will recognize we can't wait for the next terrorism attack. We need to act now.”
