UNITED STATES CONGRESSIONAL SCREENING
September 7th 2006 - United States Capitol, Washington D.C.

In the lead up to the fifth anniversary of September 11, 2001, Beyond Fear was screened at the United States Capitol Complex in Washington, D.C. Attending the screening was the Australian Ambassador to the United States, Mr Dennis Richardson, Representatives Lloyd Doggett and Patrick Kennedy, Congressional staff and representatives from the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Representative Kennedy, D-R.I., who is co-chairman of the bipartisan Addiction, Treatment and Recovery Caucus, said at the screening, "The effectiveness of terrorism is limited by our reactions to it, as well as the measure of solidarity within society. To fight terrorism here at home most effectively we must maximize our resilience, and, at a minimum, address the social maladies that currently instill any sense of social isolation within the citizenry." Although not present at the screening, joining Representatives Kennedy and Doggett in support of Beyond Fear were Grace Napolitano, D-Calif., and Tim Murphy, R-Penn., co-chairmen of the Congressional Mental Health Caucus; and Jim Ramstad, R-Minn., co-chairman of the bipartisan Addiction, Treatment and Recovery Caucus.
