"Like all Americans, I felt great relief and a sense of gratitude as I listened to the President's announcement about the death of Osama bin Laden. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the men and women in our intelligence and military operations who have labored for a decade to carry out this mission.

Let us remember those who lost their lives on 9/11. My thoughts arewith their loved ones, including the many families in Massachusetts and the 3rd District."
