Sean Patrick Maloney: “domestic terrorism is becoming the greatest threat to our domestic tranquility. It marred the Olympics, it horrified us…”

“domestic terrorism is becoming the greatest threat to our domestic tranquility. It marred the Olympics, it horrified us in Oklahoma City and with the World Trade Center, and it may have destroyed TWA Flight 800. That tragedy touched me deeply and personally. Three nights before the tragedy I spent the evening with my neighbor and friend Judith Connelly Delouvier, who was on that flight. Three days later she was dead. She will never see her two children and husband again. Her family deserves action now. We should not recess until we take legislative action on tracing explosives; we must take on the NRA; we must work on programmatic changes. Mr. Speaker, we should not recess until we act on terrorism. We cannot wait until September.”
