    Statement on House of Representatives Action on Terrorism Risk Insurance
    Legislation
    November 29, 2001

        I commend the House for taking an important step toward ensuring the
    continued availability of insurance for terrorist-related acts and for
    ensuring that victims of terrorism don't also become subjects of unfair
    lawsuits. Access to affordable insurance is necessary for a stable and
    productive economy where builders continue to build and investors
    continue to invest. It is time for the Senate to focus on this important
    issue.
