SPECIAL ADDRESS
BY
GOVERNOR BOB HOLDEN
Our nation today is numbed by the tragic events that are unfolding as terrorist forces have struck at the heart of our democracy. Like Americans everywhere, I am shocked and saddened by this senseless loss of human life and unbelievable destruction. While it may be some time before we know the extent of this tragedy, I am praying that death and injuries are at a minimum. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of New York City and Washington D.C.
I want to assure Missourians that our state government is on heightened alert and that all security resources at our command have been put in place to protect our citizens. I am in constant contact with our State Emergency Management Agency authorities who will keep me apprized of the situation and the actions we have taken. I have placed the Missouri National Guard, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and the Capitol Police on alert to to support any requests from local, state, or federal law enforcement agencies. Our Office of Administration is in constant contact with State Management Facilities authorities and our department directors to keep them apprized of the latest developments. All high traffic areas in our state are under federal alert. As a further precaution, additional security
officers have been placed on duty at all state office buildings, including St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, and Jefferson City. We also have restricted access to the State Capitol Building and other state buildings, including vehicular entrances.
For now, I ask our state employees to remain calm. I have been assured by all security officials that we have no reason to believe there are any potential threats to any state buildings. We have no plans to close down any state operations at this time.
This is certainly not the first nor will it be the last time our democracy comes under siege. But Americans are a strong and courageous people, and I am confident we will work through this crisis as we have so many others-united in support of each other and our resolve to see that democracy triumphs. I would call for a moment of silence for the victims and families of this tragedy. God bless America and Americans everywhere.
