    COMMENDATION OF FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS' RESPONSE TO TERRORISM

  Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 
2001, forever changed the United States, but caused particular 
devastation in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and New York City.
  Husbands and wives lost their spouses, brothers and sisters lost 
siblings; parents lost children and children lost parents.
  From this unspeakable grief, numerous individuals were motivated by 
their faith in God to heal and redeem this terrible tragedy.
  On this day, October 17, 2001, we and our colleagues in the United 
States Senate recognize the efforts of the following individuals, and 
their organizations and congregations, and the ten of thousands of 
others whose good works are motivated by their faith in God and love 
for their fellow man:
  Rev. A.R. Bernard and the Christian Cultural Center;
  Rev. Richard Del Rio and Abounding Grace Ministries;
  Mr. Joe Holland and the Christian Renaissance Corporation;
  Mr. Tom Jones and World Vision;
  Pastor Donna Keyes and the Glad Tidings Tabernacle; and
  Rev. Marcos Rivera and the Primitive Christian Church.
