On the recordJuly 9, 2002
as the gentleman knows, all 19 of those people who flew the planes into our buildings and murdered our people were Saudi citizens. I think there are some people in Saudi Arabia who are friends of the United States and allies of the United States, but we have to take a look at what is going on in Saudi Arabia. We have to protect ourselves, to make sure that we just do not have an open door, because they have not cleaned up their own house. They have not put their own house in order. Thus, they have made it unsafe. How many other countries are like that?
