                           HON. HENRY J. HYDE

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 12, 2001

  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to represent the people of the 
Village of Glendale Heights, Illinois. On Oct. 4, Village President 
Linda Jackson and the Village Trustees adopted the following resolution 
which I am both proud and pleased to bring to the attention of my 
colleagues:

       Whereas, in the aftermath of horrifying events of September 
     11, 2001, the people of the Village of Glendale Heights share 
     the resolve and determination of all Americans as we unite as 
     one nation;
       Whereas, the people of the Village of Glendale Heights wish 
     to show our solidarity with those who work and live in 
     Washington D.C., our nation's capital, and we salute the 
     heroic efforts of the brave men and women, both civilian and 
     military, who are working to recover and rebuild following 
     the brutal attack which struck at the very heart of our 
     nation;
       Whereas, the people of the Village of Glendale Heights wish 
     to express our deepest gratitude to our brothers and sisters 
     in the United States Armed Forces for their steadfast courage 
     and dedication as they stand ready to protect and defend our 
     lives and liberty.
       Now, therefore, be it resolved, by the President and the 
     Board of Trustees of the Village of Glendale Heights, on 
     behalf of all the residents of the Village, as follows:
       Section 1: That we as a community look to our President and 
     our nation's leadership for guidance and wisdom in this time 
     of uncertainty, and pledge our support to our leaders and our 
     military as we seek to bring justice to those who perpetrated 
     these acts of war on the American people.
       Section 2: That although Americans are no strangers to 
     casualties of war, we recognize the gravity and magnitude of 
     the terrorist attacks on our own soil at the nation's center 
     of government, designed to destroy our unity and freedom--the 
     very hallmarks of the American Spirit.
       Section 3: That the people of the Village of Glendale 
     Heights stand up with all Americans to proclaim our unity as 
     a nation, and to assure the world that the tragic events of 
     Sept. 11, 2001, did not destroy us, but rather strengthened 
     our resolve and dedication to the ideals of democracy and 
     freedom upon which this country was built.
       Section 4: That this Resolution shall be in full force and 
     effect upon its passage and approval in accordance with law.
       Ayes: Trustees, Pope, Fonte, Tolentino, Giampa, Biondini, 
     Schroeder and President Jackson.
       Nays: None.
       Absent: None.
