                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Providing for a special meeting of the Congress in New York, New York, 
  on Friday, September 6, 2002, in remembrance of the victims and the 
heroes of September 11, 2001, in recognition of the courage and spirit

Whereas on September 11, 2001, thousands of innocent people were killed and 
        injured in combined terrorist attacks involving four hijacked airliners, 
        the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon;
Whereas in the aftermath of the attacks, thousands more were left grieving for 
        beloved family and friends, livelihoods were compromised, and businesses 
        and property were damaged and lost;
Whereas the greatest loss of life, personal injury, and physical destruction 
        occurred in and was sustained by the City of New York;
Whereas Government and the American people responded decisively, through the 
        bravery, sacrifice and toil of the fire and rescue workers, law 
        enforcement, building trades, caregivers, Armed Forces, and millions 
        more who through their many expressions of care and compassion brought 
        forth comfort, hope, and the promise of recovery;
Whereas the City of New York attended to the aftermath of the destruction of the 
        World Trade Center with profound respect for the victims and compassion 
        to the survivors; and
Whereas the City of New York has invited the Congress to meet at the site of the 
        original Federal Hall, where the First Congress of the United States 
        convened on March 4, 1789: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That, in remembrance of the victims and the heroes of September 11, 
2001, and in recognition of the courage and spirit of the City of New 
York, the Congress shall conduct a special meeting in Federal Hall in 
New York, New York, on September 6, 2002.
