                      TERRORIST BOMBING IN LONDON

  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. President, my wife Julianne and I express our 
deepest sympathies to those who lost loved ones and those injured in 
the terrorist attacks in London last Thursday. Our thoughts and prayers 
are with them.
  The terrorists who claim allegiance to al-Qaida undertook these 
atrocious acts in response to the United Kingdom's unflinching, 
courageous support for the global war on terrorism. Prime Minister Tony 
Blair and the British people have stood along side the United States 
and the other members of the coalition in the war on terrorism.
  This is a reminder that we must always be vigilant against those who 
wish to attack our freedom and our way of life. We must not waiver in 
our resolve to pursue and bring to justice those who commit these 
heinous crimes
  I add my support to Monday's passing of S. Res. 193, which expressed 
``sympathy for the people of the United Kingdom in the aftermath of the 
deadly terrorist attacks.'' At the time of the vote, I was delayed in 
returning to Washington because of Hurricane Dennis. Had I been in 
present for that vote, I would have voted in favor of the resolution.
