     TRIBUTE TO PORT AUTHORITY EMPLOYEES LOST ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEVEN R. ROTHMAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 2, 2001

  Mr. ROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to all those 
who perished in the attacks on America on September 11, 2001. To their 
family members and friends, words cannot adequately express the 
feelings that I and all Americans have for the pain and loss they have 
and will continue to endure.
  Among the brave firefighters and police officers and thousands of 
other innocent people who perished in the collapse of the World Trade 
Center, were seventy-four employees of the Port Authority (PA) of New 
York and New Jersey. These men and women, who were dedicated to making 
our transportation system in the New York and New Jersey the best in 
the world, are sorely missed by their families, friends and a grief 
stricken nation. The energy, the innovation, and the commitment to 
public service of these PA employees will long be remembered by me and 
a grateful nation.
  The work and sacrifice of these PA officials must not only be 
remembered by America and all Americans, but it also must be honored. I 
will honor these brave men and women by building on the proud legacy 
they have left to the PA.
  Clearly, the American people's united commitment to continuing our 
love of freedom, democracy, rule of law, tolerance and justice, will 
prevail during the ensuing days and months as our nation pursues all 
those responsible for the September 11, 2001, attack on America. In 
that struggle, let us neither waiver nor bend in our global campaign 
against those who cut short the lives of thousands of Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that the attached list of Port Authority of New 
York and New Jersey employees who were lost in the September 11, 2001 
attack on the World Trade Center be included in the Congressional 
Record.
