           AMERICA'S DARKEST HOUR MAY ALSO BE HER FINEST HOUR

  (Mr. WYNN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WYNN. Mr. Speaker, unlike the old broadcast message, this is not 
a test, this is very real. Secretary of State Powell had it correct: 
This is an attack on our civilization.
  But in this, our darkest hour, we may also find our finest hour in 
our Nation's character and our Nation's will. We will help continue the 
rescue efforts. We will mourn the dead victims. We will pray for the 
families. We will salute our brave rescue workers, firemen, and 
policemen.
  We will also secure our communities, and we will bring perpetrators 
not just to justice but to a punishment they will not soon forget. God 
bless America.
