On the recordSeptember 11, 2001
the bloodiest attack in American history occurred yesterday, September 11, 2001, a date which will live in infamy. Life in America as we know it will change. Let us, as Members of Congress, and more importantly as Americans, resolve to help these families who lost loved ones in this cowardly attack and provide the necessary resources to both the people in New York and Washington, D.C. to aid in the recovery and assist these families. The attacks yesterday remind us of the shock and horror experienced in Pearl Harbor. We must and will work to ensure that this barbarism never occurs again. So, my colleagues, we won World War I, II, and the Cold War, but now we must prevail in what is called the ``Gray War.'' The ``Gray War'' is a war against the faceless spector of terrorism. We will prevail here also.
