              AMERICA WILL PREVAIL AGAINST THIS ADVERSITY

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. The book of Proverbs tells us that the test of gold is 
fire, but the test of man is adversity. Today, America is being tested 
one more time. But just as we in the past have faced the adversities of 
war, disease and depression, we will prevail.
  Yesterday, in the ever-present age-old battle between good and evil, 
it appears that evil stole the lives and safety of our citizens; and 
yet it can never steal our resolve, our ideals, and our love of 
freedom.
  Today, Congress and the American people are back at work. Tomorrow, 
we will seek justice; and the bell of freedom will ring once more 
loudly all over the globe.
