Regarding the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance
for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks on Sept. 11, 2001

President George W. Bush has offered all Americans an opportunity to remember the loss of life that has resulted from the attack that took place earlier this week, and that has left its mark on our hearts and minds. There are students across this country who will want to join in honoring the memory of the thousands of victims of these brutal attacks and offering comfort to those who have lost loved ones, as President Bush has suggested. Therefore, we hope that during the school day tomorrow, educators across the country will consider having a moment of silence to be observed in classrooms or in a larger assembly of students as part of our National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
