                         CREATE LEGACY OF PEACE

  (Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, as we approach September 11, all 
of us have memories of that fateful day. All of us recognize that in 
order for our Nation to be strong and to feel secure, that not only 
must we be in a position to protect ourselves, but we also must 
cultivate friendships and relationships throughout the world.
  And so I would hope as we memorialize those who gave their lives and 
lost their lives on September 11, that we will renew our efforts to try 
and make sure that we can create for ourselves and the rest of the 
world a more stable, peaceful environment and let that be the legacy of 
those who gave the last measure of devotion, their lives.
