On the recordSeptember 11, 2001
today, our Nation mourns the loss of life of so many innocent people as a result of this cowardly, insane attack. Today, we cannot fully understand or explain this vicious act, but we can pray that the tragic loss of life and injuries to so many will not be without some redemption. This tragedy can and must bring the nations of the free world together--united to bring an end to terrorism in the world. This may not be easily accomplished, but we must lead the effort. Rest assured, freedom and the powers of good will prevail. We, the people of west central Indiana, we in the Congress stand united with the President to spare no expense or resource to bring to justice those responsible for this unjustifiable, heartless act. This evil must be removed from our world. Anything less is unacceptable. Mr. Speaker, I strongly encourage my colleagues to support the resolution.
