On the recordDecember 12, 2001
I first would say to the women who came from New Jersey here to speak to the body, we heard so eloquently today somebody talk about 'we the people,' and this being 'the people's place of business,' and so we do need to be paying attention to what is being said for those people who are having to suffer as a result of these September 11 attacks. They are the survivors, the families, their children. We need to be very cognizant of the issues and the needs that are facing them, and particularly not only at the tough time, but the holiday time, when they are already suffering from their losses, but then to be economically strapped because of the consequences.
