      SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, TERRORIST ATTACKS

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, the horror of September 11, 2001, is 
still very fresh in our minds. This day will always be a sad one for 
Americans.
  It also has become a day of solemn pride as we remember the 
tremendous heroism and self-sacrifice of so many in New York, at the 
Pentagon, and on a plane over Shanksville, PA.
  Later this morning, the Senate will take time to remember, and it is 
fitting that we do so. It is fitting that we should pause as a body and 
as a nation to remember the victims and their families, as well as the 
heroes, and to remind ourselves of the dangers we still face.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.
