  EXPRESSING SENSE OF CONGRESS IN HONORING THE CREW AND PASSENGERS OF 
                       UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 93


                     Amendment Offered by Mr. Mica

  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the text of House 
Concurrent Resolution 232, as proposed to be adopted under suspension 
of the rules, be modified by the amendment that I have placed at the 
desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Otter). The Clerk will report the 
amendment.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Amendment offered by Mr. Mica:
       Whereas on September 11, 2001, acts of war were committed 
     against the United States, killing and injuring thousands of 
     innocent people;
       Whereas these attacks were directed at the World Trade 
     Center in New York, New York, and the Pentagon in Washington, 
     D.C., which are symbols of the Nation's economic and military 
     strength;
       Whereas United Airlines Flight 93 was hijacked by 
     terrorists as part of these attacks;
       Whereas while Flight 93 was still in the air, passengers 
     and crew, through cellular phone conversations with loved 
     ones on the ground, learned that other hijacked airplanes had 
     been used in these attacks;
       Whereas during these phone conversations several of the 
     passengers indicated that there was an agreement among the 
     passengers and crew to try to overpower the hijackers who had 
     taken over the aircraft;
       Whereas it is believed that it was this effort to overpower 
     the hijackers that caused Flight 93 to crash in southwestern 
     Pennsylvania, short of what is believed to have been its 
     intended target: Washington, D.C.; and
       Whereas the crash resulted in the death of everyone on 
     board the aircraft: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) on September 11, 2001, the passengers and crew of 
     hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 possibly averted the use 
     of that aircraft in a further terrorist attack on the United 
     States by attempting to overpower the hijackers;
       (2) the United States owes its deepest gratitude to the 
     passengers and crew of Flight 93, and extends its condolences 
     to the families and friends of Captain Jason Dahl, First 
     Officer Leroy Homer, flight attendants Lorraine G. Bay, 
     Sandra W. Bradshaw, Wanda A. Green, Ceecee Lyles, Deborah A. 
     Welsh, and passengers Christian Adams, Todd Beamer, Alan 
     Beaven, Mark Bingham, Deora Bodley, Thomas Burnett, William 
     Cashman, Georgine Corrigan, Patricia Cushing, Joseph Deluca, 
     Patrick Driscoll, Edward Felt, Jane C. Folger, Colleen 
     Fraser, Andrew Garcia, Jeremy Glick, Kristin Gould, Lauren 
     Grandcolas, Donald Greene, Linda Gronlund, Richard Guadagno, 
     Toshiya Kuge, Hilda Marcin, Waleska Martinez, Nicole Miller, 
     Louis J. Nacke, Donald Peterson, Jean Peterson, Mark 
     Rothenberg, Christine Snyder, John Talignani, and Honor 
     Elizabeth Wainio; and
       (3) a memorial plaque to these victims should be placed on 
     the grounds of the Capitol, and a copy of the wording of the 
     plaque, together with a copy of this resolution from the 
     Congressional Record, should be sent to a designated survivor 
     of each victim.

  Mr. MICA (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent 
that the amendment be considered as read and printed in the Record.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Florida?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the original request 
of the gentleman from Florida?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The pending business is the question of 
suspending the rules and agreeing to the concurrent resolution, H. Con. 
Res. 232, as amended.
  The Clerk read the title of the concurrent resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the
