On November 14, the House of Representatives and the United States Senate
passed an unprecedented concurrent resolution establishing a "National Day
of Reconciliation," to take place Tuesday, December 4, 2001. On that day,
our nation and elected representatives will pause to seek God's blessings
in prayers for unity, forgiveness, reconciliation and charity.
THE NATIONAL DAY OF RECONCILIATION RESOLUTION:
"CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Resolved by the House of Representatives (the
Senate concurring), that on a day of reconciliation selected jointly by the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate, and with the Chaplain of the House of Representatives and the Chaplain of the Senate in attendance--(1) two Houses of the Congress
shall assemble in the Hall of the House of Representatives; and (2) during this assembly, the Members of the two Houses may gather to humbly seek the blessings of Providence for forgiveness, reconciliation, unity, and charity for all people of the United States, thereby assisting the Nation to realize its potential as the champion of hope, the vindicator of the defenseless, and the guardian of freedom."
