                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 10, 2001

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise today to express 
gratitude to the Baca County Board of Commissioners in Baca County, 
Colorado. I respectfully submit the following Baca County Governing 
Board Resolution for the Record.

                         Resolution No. 2001-31


 a resolution condemning terrorist actions and supporting the president

       Whereas, on September 11, 2001, America was suddenly and 
     brutally attacked by foreign terrorists; and
       Whereas, these terrorists hijacked and destroyed four 
     civilian aircraft, crashing two of them into the towers of 
     the World Trade Center in New York City and a third into the 
     Pentagon outside Washington, D.C.; and
       Whereas, thousands of innocent Americans were killed and 
     injured as a result of these attacks, including the 
     passengers and crew of the four aircraft, workers in the 
     World Trade Center and in the Pentagon, rescue workers, and 
     bystanders; and
       Whereas, these cowardly acts were by far the deadliest 
     terrorist attacks ever launched against the United States, 
     and by targeting symbols of American strength and success, 
     clearly were intended to intimidate our nation and weaken its 
     resolve; and
       Whereas, these horrific events have affected all Americans. 
     It is important we carry on with the regular activities of 
     our lives. Terrorism cannot be allowed to break the spirit of 
     the American People, and the best way to show these cowards 
     that they have truly failed is for the people of the United 
     States and their counties to stand tall and proud: Therefore 
     by it
       Resolved That the governing board of Baca County condemns 
     the cowardly and deadly actions of these terrorists; and be 
     it further
       Resolved, That the governing board of Baca County supports 
     the President of the United States as he works with his 
     national security team to defend against additional attacks 
     and find the perpetrators to bring them to justice, and be it 
     further
       Resolved, That the governing board of Baca County 
     recommends to its citizens to support relief efforts by 
     giving blood at the nearest available blood donation center.
       Dated September 18, 2001, Board of County Commissioners, 
     Baca County, Colorado.
