“it was made official last week: our alert status is high. For many Americans, this call for high vigilance has resulted in high anxieties. And in these days of war and rumors of war, we are even hearing the voice of our enemy echo across the airwaves of the world. But I offer, Mr. Speaker, that we need to hear a different voice today. It is the voice that comforted our founders and has comforted every American hero throughout our history. As the Psalmist wrote so many years ago, ``He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. He will say, `He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.' He will save you from the fowler's snare, from the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge.'' May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon our President, our troops in the field, and all those brave men and women who serve in every Federal place in this Nation this day.”
