On the recordSeptember 14, 2001
I crossed the aisle tonight to offer these remarks, not for priority of party but for the needs of our Nation. The men and women in uniform we are about to send into battle will not wear insignia of party identification, they will be there as Americans. So Mr. Speaker, tonight in this place, at this hour, I stand in strong support of this resolution as the people of Arizona and the people of America go forth united in what will prove to be a difficult and perhaps even a protracted struggle, but a fight we cannot afford to postpone. Support the resolution. Support our Nation and our way of life. We are Americans first. Vote for the resolution.
