                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the establishment of a 
                      National Day of Remembrance.

Whereas on September 11, 2001, evil acts of terrorism were perpetrated against 
        the people of the United States and all humanity;
Whereas thousands of people lost their lives as a result of the terrorist 
        attacks of September 11, 2001;
Whereas hundreds of fire fighters, police officers, and rescue workers gave 
        their lives in a valiant effort to save the lives of other victims of 
        these horrific terrorist attacks;
Whereas neither the Government nor the people of the United States will be 
        deterred by acts of terrorism;
Whereas the Government and people of the United States are united in the effort 
        to stand against any future acts of terrorism; and
Whereas the establishment of September 11 as a National Day of Remembrance would 
        provide an opportunity to remember the victims who lost their lives as a 
        result of these vicious terrorist attacks, and to honor the people of 
        the United States who displayed heroism and courage during and after the 
        attacks: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
    (1) a National Day of Remembrance should be established to remember 
the victims who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks 
of September 11, 2001, and to honor the people of the United States who 
displayed heroism and courage during and after the attacks; and
    (2) the President should issue a proclamation calling on the people 
of the United States to observe such a day with appropriate programs 
and activities.
