      AMERICANS STAND STRONG AND UNITED FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY

  (Mr. CLEMENT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLEMENT. Mr. Speaker, we are all shocked, horrified, disgusted 
and sorrowed; and yet I am also extremely proud of the way all 
Americans in New York and Washington and all of the world have reacted. 
We know that there are groups and organizations, as well as some 
countries, that promote terrorists. It will not work.
  There are other ways to solve problems besides destroying people's 
lives, and we are not going to let it work. But we also know that 
terrorism is systematic, and it is going to take a multifaceted 
approach in order to destroy terrorism and terrorists in the world.
  We know we are going to track them down, and we know we are going to 
hold people responsible for these actions. But also, we know that we 
are going to have to follow the money. Where did the money come from? 
How was the money funneled to the terrorists in order for them to 
infiltrate the United States.
  We have got the world community behind us and, God bless America, we 
are the leader in the world; and we need to act like a leader and keep 
marching forward and promote freedom and democracy for all people.
