1 on September 11, 2001, have unfortunately accelerated and
2 deepened a downturn in the national economy which has affected
3 not only other national economies around the world but also
4 local economies across this country, especially the economies
5 of states like Florida which are dependent upon tourism for a
6 significant portion of their revenues, and
7 WHEREAS, this economic downturn has forced some
8 businesses in the state and around the country to downsize or
9 restructure to remain viable and this reduction or
10 restructuring has led to reductions in pay and benefits for
11 some employees and layoffs for others, and
12 WHEREAS, this economic downturn has led to concomitant
13 reductions and restructuring in the public sector as well, and
14 WHEREAS, accordingly, it is the intent of the members
15 of the Legislature to join our fellow citizens in this state
16 and across the country in doing our part not only to economize
17 and help restore the state and national economies but more
18 significantly to show our solidarity and resolve as a people
19 in the face of the despicable assault of September 11th on our
20 nation and way of life, NOW, THEREFORE,
