                    STATEMENT BY VICE PRESIDENT GORE ON
                  THE AFGHANISTAN, SUDAN TERRORIST STRIKE

I strongly support the President's decision today to make clear to the world that the United States will respond to the threat of terrorism. A network of terrorist groups led by Osama bin Laden have made clear in word and deed that they are waging an all out war against America, targeting all, sparing none. Today we delivered our response. We will be relentless in defending our interests and our people against the murderous threat of terrorism.
