yesterday, our great Nation was dealt a blow of untold destruction and loss of life, in a cowardly and egregious act of war by terrorists. At this time my thoughts and prayers are with the victims and the families of this horrible terrorist act. This is now a time for our Nation to collectively grieve and come together as one to address this crisis. I salute the brave men and women who are, even now, pouring through the tangled remains of the buildings, the doctors, nurses, paramedics, and law enforcement who are working long hours to provide critical medical attention, and the volunteers who are rallying to support them. The American people and Congress will support the President's effort to utilize every resource available to ensure our Nation's security. Our Nation has not witnessed such an unprovoked attack since Pearl Harbor. As in the past, America will respond. We will identify the perpetrators of these attacks and hold them accountable for an act of war against the American people.
