On the recordDecember 12, 2001
Yesterday marked the three month anniversary of one of the most tragic days in American history. While the loathsome, cowardly acts of terrorism that took place on September 11, 2001 have deeply wounded our country, they have not, and never will, dull the spirit and resolve of the American people. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with those who lost loved ones on that horrific day. And, I continue to express my deepest appreciation to the thousands of individuals who stepped up on the face of danger to assist in the devastating aftermath at the Pentagon, the World Trade Center, and at the Pennsylvania crash site. The Congress has come together, speaking with a unified bipartisan voice, on several pieces of legislation. Members of Congress have joined together in support of our President and his determination to punish the perpetrators of these attacks. We have joined together on legislation to help law enforcement prevent additional acts of terrorism and to help law enforcement bring terrorists to justice. We have also come together to provide additional resources to bolster our public health infrastructure to better prepare this country in the event of a more widespread biological attack.
