Reaction Of Senator Patrick Leahy
To The President's Message
To A Joint Session Of Congress
Sept. 20, 2001
"The President has helped to prepare the
nation for a long campaign against terrorism. When we fight terrorism we won't
always recognize our victories but we will always know our defeats.
"These attacks have produced a deep
reservoir of unity and will in the American people, and the President has
recognized and tapped that reservoir for the struggle that lies ahead. The
challenge will be to add to the reservoir and not merely draw from it, and to
defend our freedoms and not diminish them in this effort. For that the
Administration will need to seek and build consensus for the ways and means our
government will use in the war on terrorism."
