         AMERICANS STAND UNITED TO BRING TERRORISTS TO JUSTICE

  (Mr. CARDIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. Speaker, a Marylander I think expressed the sentiment 
of all of the people in my district when she said, ``I am thinking 
about all of the people who died. I don't know the people in New York 
or the District of Columbia or Pittsburgh, but I feel like they are 
family.''
  Mr. Speaker, they are family; and in times of tragedy, a family grows 
closer together. We are going to come together. We are going to show 
our compassion for the victims, rescue who we can, make sure our 
country is safe, and we are going to find out what happened. We are 
going to find out who is responsible for these actions; and then as a 
family united, we are going to take the appropriate steps to bring 
these people to justice.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of the Third Congressional 
District of Maryland, we stand united with the victims' families and 
with all Americans in our resolve to make sure that what happened 
yesterday brings us together and we respond and hold those responsible 
accountable for their actions.
