On the recordNovember 27, 2001
Mr. Speaker, December 7, 1941, was certainly a watershed. It was a day those who lived through it, and all who have lived after it, will never forget. America, and indeed the world, were changed forever by the events of December 7, 1941. America was awakened from slumber by that attack, and she has not slept since. However, we have been stirred from a rest on September 11 of this year, and we are now reminded that America cannot ever sleep any more now than on December 7, 1941. We must remember, and we must pass this resolution. We must remember so that free people everywhere never forget. I urge support on Senate Concurrent Resolution 44.
