                     BRINGING TERRORISTS TO JUSTICE

  (Mrs. McCARTHY of New York asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Mr. Speaker, yesterday morning I woke up 
thinking of my granddaughter. Yesterday was her first birthday. Two 
hours later, this Nation was in a crisis.
  I know the American people. I know the people of New York. I know how 
we all respond in times of crisis, that we all come together, and we 
will be there for each other.
  But this Congress, this Congress will respond. Many of us are 
considered gentle people, and we are. But let me say, I, for one, will 
make sure that this President has all the tools and the financial means 
that he needs to bring justice to so many of my constituents that were 
killed yesterday.
  This Congress, this government, will not rest until every single 
person responsible for these deaths are brought to justice.
