                             A HOUSE UNITED

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, in the wake of the terrible events of 
September 11, 2001, there have been reports of senseless acts of gun 
violence against innocent Americans, whose only crime was their 
ethnicity or religion. In this time of national crisis we must not lose 
sight that it is our diversity, our freedom to worship, and our 
steadfast commitment to liberty and the rule of law that form the 
foundation of this great Nation. While it has shaken, standing together 
we can ensure that the American house remains strong. And it is unity 
that guarantees our ultimate victory.
