H. Con. Res. 464
Agreed to September 11, 2002
One Hundred Seventh Congress
of the
United States of America
AT THE SECOND SESSION
Begun and held at the City of Washington on Wednesday,
the twenty-third day of January, two thousand and two
Concurrent Resolution
Whereas on September 11, 2001, while Americans were attending
to their daily routines, terrorists hijacked and destroyed four
civilian aircraft, crashing two of them into the towers of the
World Trade Center in New York City, and a third into the
Pentagon outside Washington, D.C.;
Whereas the valor of the passengers and crew on the fourth aircraft
prevented it from also being used as a weapon against America;
Whereas thousands of innocent Americans were killed and injured
as a result of these attacks, including the passengers and crew
of the four aircraft, workers in the World Trade Center and
in the Pentagon, rescue workers, and bystanders, making these
attacks the deadliest terrorist attacks ever launched against the
United States;
Whereas when the gravest moments came, many regular Americans,
relying on courage, instinct, and grace, rushed toward the flaming
buildings in order to rescue or toward terrorist-controlled cockpits
in order to resist;
Whereas by targeting symbols of American strength and success,
these attacks clearly were intended to assail the principles,
values, and freedoms of the United States and the American
people, intimidate the Nation, and weaken the national resolve;
Whereas while the States of New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania
bore the brunt of the terrorist attacks, every State and Territory
and all Americans were affected and mourned these tragic losses;
Whereas Americans reached out to help strangers who had lost
loved ones, colleagues, and their businesses;
Whereas local, State, and Federal leaders set aside differences
and worked together to provide for those who were attacked
and to protect those who remained;
Whereas Americans continue to repair damage to buildings and
the economy, while relishing the freedoms they enjoy as Ameri-
cans;
Whereas on September 14, 2001, in Public Law 107–40, Congress
authorized the use of ‘‘all necessary and appropriate force’’ against
those responsible for the terrorist attacks;
Whereas the United States Armed Forces subsequently moved
swiftly against Al Qaeda and the Taliban regime in Afghanistan,
whom the President and Congress had identified as enemies
of America;

‘‘(B) health care facilities lists, including but
not limited to—
‘‘(i) the total health care facilities plan-
ning, design, construction, and renovation needs
for Indians;
‘‘(ii) the 10 top-priority inpatient care fa-
cilities;
‘‘(iii) the 10 top-priority outpatient care
facilities;
‘‘(iv) the 10 top-priority specialized care
facilities (such as long-term care and alcohol
and drug abuse treatment);
‘‘(v) any staff quarters associated with
such prioritized facilities;
‘‘(C) the justification for such order of priority;
‘‘(D) the projected cost of such projects; and
‘‘(E) the methodology adopted by the Service in
establishing priorities under its health care facility
priority system.
‘‘(3) In preparing each report required under para-
graph (2) (other than the initial report), the Secretary
shall annually—
‘‘(A) consult with and obtain information on all
health care facilities needs from Indian tribes and
tribal organizations, including those tribes or tribal
H. Con. Res. 464—2
Whereas, in so doing, brave servicemen and women left family
and friends in order to defend the Nation;
Whereas a year later, many servicemen and women remain abroad,
shielding the Nation from further terrorist attacks;
Whereas, while the passage of a year has not softened the memory
of the American people, resolved their grief, or restored lost
loved ones, it has shown that Americans will not bow to terrorists;
Whereas the Congress has passed, and the President has signed,
numerous laws providing additional resources for the overseas
effort against terrorism, as well as additional tools for Federal,
State, and local law enforcement and judicial systems to protect
Americans at home; and
Whereas the Government reexamined the need for domestic security
and the Congress is currently considering legislation to create
a Department of Homeland Security with the specific mission
of preventing further attacks: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concur-
ring), That Congress—
(1) recognizes September 11 as both a day to remember
those taken from their families, loved ones, and fellow citizens
and a day for Americans to recommit to the Nation, to their
freedoms, and to each other;
(2) extends its deepest sympathies to the countless innocent
victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, their fami-
lies, friends, and loved ones;
(3) honors the heroic actions of first responders, law
enforcement personnel, State and local officials, volunteers,
and others who aided the innocent victims and, in so doing,
bravely risked their own lives and long-term health;
(4) stands in great debt with the American people to the
members of the Armed Forces serving both at home and abroad;
(5) praises the people of the United States for their
patriotism, compassion, prayers, and generosity in donating
time and money to support the innocent victims of the Sep-
tember 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, their families, friends, and
loved ones;
(6) expresses thanks and gratitude to the foreign leaders
and citizens of all nations who have assisted and continue
to stand in solidarity with the United States against terrorism
in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks;
(7) discourages, in the strongest possible terms, any effort
to confuse the war on terrorism with a war on any people
or any faith;
(8) commends the President and the brave servicemen and
women of the United States Armed Forces in the successful
effort to oust the Taliban from power;
(9) remains resolved to pursue all those responsible for
the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and their sponsors
until they are discovered and punished; and
(10) reaffirms that Congress will honor the memory of
those who lost their lives as a result of the September 11,

of the United States in the face of all future challenges.
