CREATE LEGACY OF PEACE
(Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, as we approach September 11, all
of us have memories of that fateful day. All of us recognize that in
order for our Nation to be strong and to feel secure, that not only
must we be in a position to protect ourselves, but we also must
cultivate friendships and relationships throughout the world.
And so I would hope as we memorialize those who gave their lives and
lost their lives on September 11, that we will renew our efforts to try
and make sure that we can create for ourselves and the rest of the
world a more stable, peaceful environment and let that be the legacy of
those who gave the last measure of devotion, their lives.
