HONORING AND MEMORIALIZING THE PASSENGERS AND CREW OF UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 93 -- (House of Representatives - September 13, 2005)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. NORTON. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Madam Speaker, I join other Members in strong support of this resolution and acknowledge the special bond that exists between the passengers from Flight 93 and not only the personnel who work in the Capitol but also the citizens of the District, those who were harmed and who died at the Pentagon and, of course, those who were victims in New York at the Twin Towers.

Although we will never know the final destination for Flight 93, we are all profoundly grateful to those heroic passengers for their collective acts of courage that may have saved the Capitol or the White House from severe damage.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 26 memorializes them and their valiant efforts as well. A site will be selected here in the Capitol. The purpose of the memorial as well as the names of the crew and passengers will, of course, be inscribed on the memorial.

We strongly support the resolution and urge its passage.

Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
