H. RES. 424
Paying tribute to the workers in New York City for their rescue, recovery,
and clean-up efforts at the site of the World Trade Center.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 21, 2002
Mr. FOSSELLA submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Government Reform
RESOLUTION
Paying tribute to the workers in New York City for their
rescue, recovery, and clean-up efforts at the site of the
World Trade Center.
Whereas on September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four ci-
vilian aircraft, crashing two of them into the towers of
the World Trade Center in New York City;
Whereas these attacks were by far the deadliest terrorist at-
tacks ever launched against the United States, claiming
the lives of more than 3,000 innocent people;
Whereas in the aftermath of the attacks, without showing
any hesitation, public safety officers, steel workers, elec-
tricians, construction workers, and thousands of skilled
workers and volunteers spent endless days and nights,
many without sleep for over 36 hours, risking their own
lives to assist in the search for and rescue of anyone that

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that each Member of the House of Represent-

might have survived the devastation at the site of the
World Trade Center, which has come to be known as
‘‘Ground Zero’’;
Whereas the resolve of our nation was strengthened by the
courage of the thousands of brave rescue and recovery
workers who used their own hands in the hours and days
after September 11th to this day to remove rubble from
the site to locate those trapped and buried beneath the
debris of the World Trade Center;
Whereas these workers inspired the American people with
their extraordinary bravery and heroism, often risking
their own life and limb to help find the remains of those
who perished on September 11th;
Whereas many rescue and recovery workers were not just
searching for a stranger but rather their lost son, daugh-
ter, aunt, uncle, brother, sister, husband, wife, mother,
father, lifelong friend, or co-worker; each of these work-
ers were helping to clear the debris just hoping to come
across any one of their loved ones;
Whereas people, not only in New York but across the nation,
worked to supply Ground Zero workers with such things
as food and water, clothing, and medical supplies, sur-
mounted numerous challenges and difficulties in securing
and distributing these goods, and made it happen within
hours and continuing still today, never once looked at
how difficult it might be to get supplies, but rather went
out and did whatever it took to ensure that the needs for
those supplies were met;
Whereas local businesses, churches, and citizens opened their
doors to police, fire, and other workers with places to
sleep, eat, or even simply pray;
•HRES 424 IH
Whereas the selflessness displayed by the rescue and recovery
workers helped unify our nation, bringing together good
people to demonstrate to the forces of terror that good
would triumph over evil;
Whereas all involved in the efforts at Ground Zero were
working unselfishly beyond the point of exhaustion with-
out regard for food, water, or sleep, simply to save and
recover anyone and everyone possible; and
Whereas the recovery effort will conclude after more than
nine months of hard work, removing over 1.6 million tons
of debris while at the same time taking great care to col-
lect all victims’ remains, thereby allowing more than
1,000 families to lay their loved ones to rest: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives pays
tribute to the workers in New York City for their rescue,
recovery, and clean-up efforts at the site of the World
Trade Center, which was destroyed by the terrorist attack
of September 11, 2001.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that

Whereas, from the American Revolution’s Minutemen to to-
day’s modern soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines,
American men and women have dedicated themselves to
the preservation of liberty and democracy;
Whereas 42,000,000 service members served during times of

War I, World War II, the Korean conflict, the Vietnam
war era, and the Persian Gulf war stand as a living tes-

Whereas our Nation owes an immeasurable debt of gratitude
to the brave veterans who put themselves in harm’s way

Whereas future generations of veterans and their families
must know that honorable military service is the highest
form of national service; and
Whereas honoring our Nation’s veterans with the annual
issuance of a postage stamp commemorating their service
is a fitting tribute to those brave men and women: Now,
therefore, be it

(1) a commemorative postage stamp should be

Whereas Iran continues its efforts to acquire weapons of
mass destruction and the means to deliver them, includ-
ing the recent test of a Shahab–3 missile which has a
range of 800 miles;
Whereas foreign investments in the Iranian energy sector re-
sult in increased revenue for Iran that may be used to
further its support for acts of international terrorism and
its development of weapons of mass destruction and the
means to deliver them;
Whereas in 2001, Congress overwhelmingly passed and the
President signed a 5-year extension of the Iran and
Libya Sanctions Act of 1996, which imposes sanctions on
companies that invest in the Iranian and Libyan energy
sectors;
Whereas on May 28, 2002, Sheer Energy, a Canadian oil
company, announced an $80,000,000 contract to develop
an Iranian petroleum field in conjunction with the state-
owned National Iranian Oil Company, which constitutes
the first investment in the Iranian energy sector since
September 11, 2001, that is subject to sanctions under
the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act of 1996; and
Whereas the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, dem-

the lives of Americans and all other people irrespective of
their nationality, and that the United States must take
stronger measures to ensure the end of state support for
international terrorism: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) condemns the continued sponsorship of
international terrorism by Iran and its development

(2) reiterates its concern that investment in
Iran’s energy sector makes a dangerous contribution
to those activities that sponsor international ter-
rorism by providing the Iranian regime with a sig-
nificant source of funds that can, directly or indi-
rectly, support such activities;
(3) demands that Sheer Energy cancel its con-
tract with the Government of Iran, a state sponsor
of international terrorism, to develop Iranian oil
fields; and
(4) urges the President to impose sanctions on
Sheer Energy under the Iran and Libya Sanctions
Act of 1996 as long as its investments remain sub-
ject to sanctions under that Act.
