SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked
and destroyed 4 civilian aircraft, crashing 2 of them
into the towers of the World Trade Center in New

killed and injured as a result of these attacks, in-
cluding the passengers and crew of the 4 aircraft,

World Trade Center, as well as adjacent buildings,
and seriously damaged the Pentagon.
(4) These attacks were by far the deadliest ter-
rorist attacks ever launched against the United
States, and, by targeting symbols of American
strength and success, clearly were intended to in-
timidate our Nation and weaken its resolve.
