  THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH DAKOTA AND THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA DEMAND JUSTICE

  (Mr. THUNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mr. THUNE. Mr. Speaker, we are one America, one family. When one of 
us suffers, we all suffer.
  I have been reading e-mails from my constituents in South Dakota.
  ``We grieve with our brothers and sisters in New York and Virginia, 
in Maryland and D.C. South Dakotans are praying for you, and we support 
you. You have been there for us. We will be there for you.''
  To the rest of America, let me say that South Dakota stands ready to 
support our President in defending and protecting American citizens and 
American freedoms. To the terrorist world, let me say that they have 
declared war on a sleeping giant.
  The people of South Dakota and the people of America demand justice. 
If they are terrorists, they can run but they cannot hide. We are 
coming after them. We will find them, and there will be a reckoning.
