                       REMEMBERING SEPTEMBER 11TH

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, the Chaplain opened our Senate in 
prayer reminding everybody of what happened 18 years ago today: a 
disastrous attack on the United States. So referring to that same 18 
years, I say our Nation changed forever following an act of cowardice 
from the enemies of freedom. The events of September 11 have left an 
indelible mark on American and world history and certainly on the lives 
of the victims' families. We pray now, as we did then, that God may 
heal the wounds of those injured and the wounds left by those lost that 
day, that they may find peace on this solemn day.
  Let us recall the sacrifices made that day to preserve our way of 
life and honor each day the pledge ``Never forget.''
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DURBIN. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
