                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the Congress that on September 11, 2002, the 
 people of the United States should reaffirm the principles for which 
the Nation was founded so that freedom may ring from every community in 
               the Nation and be heard around the world.

Whereas the United States is founded on the fundamental principle that all 
        people have the inalienable right of life, liberty and the pursuit of 
        happiness;
Whereas the United States stands as a beacon of freedom and opportunity for 
        everyone regardless of race, creed, national origin, or religious 
        belief;
Whereas the strength and vitality of the United States is in the diversity of 
        its people, the diversity of ideas, the freedom to express those ideas, 
        and the opportunity to achieve one's potential and direct one's destiny; 
        and
Whereas these ideals and principles are absolute and will not be surrendered or 
        weakened by the cowardly acts of terrorists who are afraid of freedom 
        and the responsibility it brings: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that on September 11, 2002, the 
people of the United States should reaffirm the principles for which 
the Nation was founded so that freedom may ring from every community in 
the Nation and be heard around the world.
