[Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents Volume 37, Number 48 (Monday, December 3, 2001)] [Page 1729] [Online from the Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov] <R04> Statement on House of Representatives Action on Insurance Industry Terrorist Claims Legislation November 29, 2001 I commend the House for taking an important step toward ensuring the continued availability of insurance for terrorist-related acts and for ensuring that victims of terrorism don't also become subjects of unfair lawsuits. Access to affordable insurance is necessary for a stable and productive economy where builders continue to build and investors continue to invest. It is time for the Senate to focus on this important issue.
