RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Senate upon the five-year anniversary of
the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001.
Whereas on September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four civilian aircraft;
crashed two of them into the towers of the World Trade Center in New
York City; and crashed the third into the Pentagon outside Washington,
D.C.;
Whereas the fourth hijacked plane, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed in
Somerset County, Pennsylvania, near the town of Shanksville, after the
passengers and crew of that flight struggled with the terrorist-
hijackers to take back control of the plane, ultimately preventing the
flight from reaching its likely destination in Washington, D.C.;
Whereas the heroic actions of the rescue workers, volunteers, federal, state,
and local officials who responded to the attacks with courage,
determination, and skill is to be commended;
Whereas thousands of innocent Americans, and civilians from many other
countries, were killed and injured as a result of these attacks;
Whereas Congress declared, in the aftermath of the attacks, September 12, 2001,
to be a National Day of Unity and Mourning; and
Whereas there has not been a terrorist attack on the United States homeland
since the terrorist attacks five years ago; but al Qaeda has perpetrated
terrorist attacks throughout the world against U.S. persons, facilities,
and interests, as well as U.S. allies during that time: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) commemorates the life of each individual who died as a
result of the attacks of September 11, 2001;
(2) extends its deepest condolences to the victims of these
attacks, as well as to their families, friends, and loved ones;
(3) once again condemns in the strongest possible terms the
attacks, the terrorists who perpetrated them, and their
sponsors;
(4) commits to support the necessary steps to interdict and
defeat terrorists who plot to do harm to the American people;
(5) recommits itself and the Nation to bringing to justice
the perpetrators of the attacks, along with their sponsors;
(6) honors and expresses its gratitude to members of its
Armed Forces, law enforcement personnel, first responders,
members of the intelligence community, and others who have
bravely and faithfully participated in the War on Terrorism
since September 11, 2001;
(7) declares September 11, 2006, to be a National Day of
Remembrance, in commemoration of the terrorist attacks against
the United States on September 11, 2001; and
(8) declares that when the Senate adjourns today, it stand
adjourned as a further mark of respect to each individual who
died as a result of the attacks of September 11, 2001.
