"The United States Congress went back into session to condemn the heinous acts against our country and to show our strong support for the victims and their families. Over the past 48 hours, I have attended four classified briefings about the attacks on the WorldTradeCenter and the Pentagon. Our government is moving swiftly and comprehensively to bring these terrorists to justice. We are putting the full power and resources of the federal government to work in aiding the survivors and the families of those innocent victims who perished yesterday. Our country is strong and our republic will endure."
