Washington, D.C. – Following is a statement by Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS) supporting S.J. Res. 22, the sense of the Senate and House of Representatives regarding the terrorist attacks launched against the United States on September 11, 2001:
"Mr. President, The resolution before the Senate should be considered by those who have planned and perpetrated the heinous attacks in New York City and Washington as more than a warning. It is a promise that will be kept. We pledge today our whole hearted support for President Bush and his commitment to hunt down those responsible for these atrocities and to punish them in a way that is comensurate with their horrible acts. At the same time we are committing ourselves to provide the resources our government and our President may need as Commander and Chief to wage a war to eradicate terrorism. I am pleased the Senate is united in this resolve to help ensure that we will do all we are able to do to ensure these tragedies are never repeated."
