                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                           November 15, 2001

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Providing for a joint session of Congress to be held in New York City, 
                               New York.

Whereas on September 11, 2001, the United States was victim to the worst 
        terrorist attack on American soil in history, as hijacked aircraft were 
        deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center towers in New York City 
        and the Pentagon outside of Washington, D.C.;
Whereas the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center towers located in New 
        York City have resulted in the deaths of over 5,000 individuals and the 
        destruction of both towers as well as adjacent buildings;
Whereas these attacks were by far the deadliest terrorist attacks ever launched 
        against the United States, and by targeting symbols of American strength 
        and success, the attacks were an attempt to violate the freedoms and 
        liberties that have been bestowed upon all Americans;
Whereas in 1789 the first meeting of the United States House of Representatives 
        and Senate was held in New York City; and
Whereas in this time of crisis it would be appropriate that a special one-day 
        joint session of Congress be convened in New York City as a symbol of 
        the Nation's solidarity with New Yorkers who epitomize the human spirit 
        of courage, resilience, and strength: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the two Houses of Congress assemble in New York City, New York, 
during the One Hundred Seventh Congress at such date, time, and 
location as the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the 
President Pro Tempore of the Senate may jointly select, for the purpose 
of conducting such business as the Speaker and President Pro Tempore 
may consider appropriate.
