メールマガジンの読者の皆さん、こんにちは。
アメリカのテロは本当に深刻な問題です。国会でも大きな議論にな
るでしょう。私のニューヨークの親友から「生きている」とさきほ
どメールが来て、嬉しかったです。
しかし、犠牲者が一人でも少ないことを心より祈っています。その
親友にも「どんな手伝いでもするので、困っていることがあったら
言って下さい」とメールしました。
■さて、今日(12日)は、久しぶりに福祉一色の日でした。
◆午後は、介護家族の方々の会に参加。18人が参加。
涙ながらに介護の辛さを話される姿を見て、私も目頭が熱くなった。
18人中4人の方が涙を流しながら話をされた。
介護保険でも家族の苦しみは十分に軽減されてない、いやそれどこ
ろか、「介護保険はないほうが負担が少なくてよかった」という声
も聞いた。さらに、「自己負担が高くなるなら、個室は嫌だ」とい
う声も多く、考えさせられた。
◆その後、市役所の介護保険に知人から頼まれた相談事に行く。
国会が始まると、地元の市役所にも平日行けないので、あと2週間、
国会が始まるまでにいろいろ福祉のことで地元を動き回りたい。
◆夜は、老人保健施設やデイケアで働く方々7人で勉強会。
*ここでも、特別養護老人ホームの個室化への反発が強かった。
「自己負担が月11-12万円と高くなるなら、新型特別養護老人ホー
ムよりも古い四人部屋の6-7万円の特別養護老人ホームのほうが人
気が出るのではないか」
「お年寄り本人も個室は寂しくて嫌だ、という人が多い」など。
*また、老人保健施設が特別養護老人ホームの待合室になってい
ることに批判が相次いだ。
老人保健施設の痴呆性高齢者は自宅復帰はむずかしい。
また、デイケアは人数が多すぎるのは良くないのではないか、
特別養護老人ホームでも10人規模のユニットケアが増えているのだ
から、デイケアも10人規模に分けるべきではないか、との意見。
■なお、最近多くの福祉現場や介護家族の方々からメールが来る。
◆グループホームについてのメールを抜粋したい。(以下、抜粋)
僕がみた日本のグループホームでは排泄ができない人は「これ以
上みられない」と言われていました。しかし、その痴呆症のおばあ
さんはどこへ行くのでしょうか?
家では看切れないので、グループホームに引っ越してきたのです。
また、引越しさせなければならないのでしょうか?
どこに?
老人保健施設?
特別養護老人ホーム?
まだ、十分歩けますし、何よりも声をかけられるのを楽しみにして
いるように見えます。
彼女はこの家を楽しんでいます。
最後までここで看ることはできないのでしょうか?
日本のグループホームはターミナルにはならないのでしょうか?
この問題はどこでも言えることではないでしょうか?
せっかくグループホームが増えるのならいいものができて欲しいで
す。
(以上は、グループホームを訪問した私の知人の男性の感想です)
◆また、次のようなメールも頂きました(以下、抜粋)。
「私の母が、グループホームに入居し1年が経ち、グループホーム
に馴染んだ頃に、2週間ほど入院しました。
すると、『退所してください。ベットだけ空けておく訳には経営上
いかない』と言われました。
それまでも、多少手がかかるかなと思える人はどんどん退所してい
きましたので方針がそうなら仕方がないと思い退所させました。
今は別のホームにお世話になっています」
●以下、私、山井の感想。
あまりにも安易に「手がかかるから」という理由で退所させるグル
ープホームが多いのではないでしょうか。
夜勤体制を組める介護報酬にし、訪問看護をグループホームで受け
られるようにするなど、より長くグループホームに滞在できるよう
に早急に制度を改善すべきだと思います。
手がかかる痴呆性高齢者をどんどん退去させる、
つまり、手がかからない介護が楽な痴呆性高齢者だけをグループホ
ームが短期間、入居させるなら、
グループホームの存在意義は半減します。

【米同時多発テロ】捜査急進展 容疑者10〜20人に
米国で発生した同時多発テロ事件の捜査が急進展し、事件の輪郭が少しずつ見えてきている。10人を超えるテロ犯が事件に直接関与したことが明らかになった。
アシュクロフト米司法長官は12日、ワシントンで記者会見を開き、今回のテロには米国で訓練を受けた操縦士を含む10人以上のテロ犯が関与したと明らかにした。
アシュクロフト米司法長官は、「航空機をハイジャックした犯人たちは3〜6人ずつナイフとカッターで脅かし、4機の旅客機をハイジャックした」と述べた。この説明から、今回のテロには少なくとも12人、最高で24人が関与していると見える。
米連邦捜査局(FBI)はそれぞれ異なる組織が飛行機をハイジャックしたかを捜査している。このうち少なくとも一組はカナダから入国し、サウジアラビア出身の反米テロリスト、オサマ・ビン・ラディンと関係があるものと見ている。

4 p.m.: White House spokesman Ari Fleischer says President Bush called
European heads of state, Chinese President Jiang Zemin and Russian President
Vladimir Putin to rally an international coalition to fight terrorism.
4 p.m.: NATO ambassadors meeting in Brussels, Belgium, approve the invocation
of NATO's self-defense charter if Tuesday's terrorist attacks in the
United States prove to have been directed from abroad. NATO's charter
says that an armed attack against one of the organization's members
is considered an attack against all of them. The United States, therefore,
can invoke that section of the charter and count on the support of its
NATO allies in mounting military operations.
3:40 p.m.: U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft says the four planes
involved in Tuesday's events were hijacked by between three and six
individuals per aircraft. They were armed with knives and box cutters
and in some cases made bomb threats. Ashcroft says a number of suspected
hijackers were trained as pilots in the United States, and he characterized
the investigation as perhaps the most massive one ever undertaken in
U.S. history.
2:57 p.m.: CNN Senior White House Correspondent John King reports that
the White House says that there was "reasonable and credible information"
to believe that the White House and Air Force One were possible targets
of the terrorist attacks. The White House says this is why the president
did not immediately return to Washington on Tuesday. The White House
also says the plane that crashed into the Pentagon may have been destined
originally for the White House.
2:20 p.m.: Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta says that airline
flights diverted after Tuesday's attacks on the World Trade Center and
Pentagon are authorized to finish their journeys Wednesday but all other
planes remain grounded. Only passengers on the original flights could
reboard and only after new security measures were put in place. Airlines
also can move empty airplanes, Mineta said.
2:15 p.m.: Philip Purcell, chairman and chief executive officer of the
brokerage firm Morgan Stanley, says "a vast majority" of the 3,500 staff
members who worked in two of the World Trade Center buildings, including
one of the twin towers, got out safely after hijackers crashed two planes
into the towers.
1:20 p.m.: CNN reports that officials of the Taliban, the hard-line
Islamic rulers of Afghanistan, are appealing to the United States not
to attack the country. The country is where suspected Saudi terrorist
Osama bin Laden is based.
1 p.m.: CNN reports that the FBI has taken several people into custody
for questioning in Boston, Massachusetts, and in Florida. Authorities
also are checking passenger manifests from the crashed airplanes to
see if they include anyone who attended flight schools in the United
States or who used facilities that have airline simulators.
12:10 p.m.: Officials from Boston's Logan International Airport say
the Federal Aviation Administration is requiring all U.S. airports to
comply with some emergency safety measures, including banning the sale
or use of knives, even plastic ones, at airports; evacuating and sweeping
all terminals with K-9 teams; and discontinuing curbside check-in.
11:25 a.m.: A total of nine survivors have been rescued so far in the
rubble in New York. Six are firefighters, and three are police officers.
11:20 a.m.: CNN reports that the FAA will not allow domestic air traffic
to resume at noon Wednesday.
10:54 a.m.: CNN reports that the United States has intercepted two phone
calls made after Tuesday's terrorist attacks against the Pentagon and
New York's World Trade Center, and the conversations were between members
of al Qaeda, an organization sponsored by bin Laden. In those conversations,
U.S. law enforcement officials say the individuals discussed hitting
two U.S. targets.
10:50 a.m.: The president labels Tuesday's attacks "acts of war" and
says the United States faces a different enemy than ever before in its
history. "This will be a monumental struggle of good vs. evil. But good
will prevail," Bush says.
10:30 a.m.: New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani warns that the death toll
would be grim. "The numbers we are working with are in the thousands,"
Giuliani told reporters at a briefing.
10 a.m.: Congress reconvenes in the U.S. Capitol with members of both
parties denouncing Tuesday's events.
9:05 a.m.: The assistant director of the Washington, D.C., Airport Authority
tells CNN that Dulles International and Ronald Reagan National airports
will open at 3 p.m. Wednesday only to allow people to pick up their
luggage and vehicles.
8:45 a.m.: All European stock markets cease trading for one minute's
silence to remember Tuesday's events.
5:20 a.m.: Pope John Paul II opens his weekly address with a statement
condemning Tuesday's attacks, saying "evil and death will not have the
last word."
Early Wednesday morning: Six firefighters and a police officer are reported
rescued from the rubble of the World Trade Center.
Tuesday's events
MORE STORIES
Complete chronology of the events of Tuesday, September 11
8:30 p.m. (all times are EDT): Bush addresses the nation, saying "thousands
of lives were suddenly ended by evil" and asks for prayers for the families
and friends of Tuesday's victims. "These acts shatter steel, but they
cannot dent the steel of American resolve," he says. The president says
the U.S. government will make no distinction between the terrorists
who committed the acts and those who harbor them. He adds that government
offices in Washington are reopening for essential personnel Tuesday
night and for all workers Wednesday.
6:54 p.m.: Bush arrives back at the White House and is scheduled to
address the nation at 8:30 p.m.
5:20 p.m.: The 47-story Building 7 of the World Trade Center complex
collapses. The evacuated building is damaged when the twin towers across
the street collapse earlier in the day. Other nearby buildings in the
area remain ablaze.
4:30 p.m.: The president leaves Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska aboard
Air Force One to return to Washington.
1:48 p.m.: President Bush leaves Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana
aboard Air Force One and flies to Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.

appropriate security measures are being taken, including putting the
U.S. military on high alert worldwide.
11:59 a.m.: United Airlines confirms that Flight 175, from Boston to

Emergency personnel at the scene say there are no survivors.

Flight 11, a Boeing 767 flying from Boston to Los Angeles, had 81 passengers
and 11 crew aboard. Flight 77, a Boeing 757 en route from Washington's
Dulles International Airport to Los Angeles, had 58 passengers and six
crew members aboard. Flight 11 slammed into the north tower of the World
Trade Center. Flight 77 hit the Pentagon.
10:45 a.m.: All federal office buildings in Washington are evacuated.

Statement by the President in His Address to the Nation
View the President's Remarks
Listen to the President's Remarks
8:30 P.M. EDT (東部標準時)
THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. Today, our fellow citizens, our way of
life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and
deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes, or in their offices;
secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers; moms
and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended
by evil, despicable acts of terror.
The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge
structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness,
and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended
to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed;
our country is strong.
A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks
can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot
touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they
cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for
freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light
from shining.
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded
with the best of America -- with the daring of our rescue workers, with
the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help
in any way they could.
Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's
emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared.
Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C.
to help with local rescue efforts.
Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured, and
to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around
the world from further attacks.
The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal
agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening
for essential personnel tonight, and will be open for business tomorrow.
Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will
be open for business, as well.
The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've
directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement
communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice.
We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these
acts and those who harbor them.
I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me
in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American
people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their
condolences and assistance.
America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace
and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against
terrorism. Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve,
for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense
of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be
comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages
in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I fear no evil, for You are with me."
This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our
resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before,
and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day. Yet,
we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our
world.
Thank you. Good night, and God bless America.

Oficina del Secretario de Prensa
11 de septiembre de 2001
Mensaje del Presidente a La Nación
La Oficina Oval
8:30 P.M. EDT
EL PRESIDENTE: Buenas noches. Hoy, nuestros estimados ciudadanos, nuestro
estilo de vida, nuestra misma libertad fueron atacados en una serie
de actos terroristas deliberados y mortales. Las víctimas estaban
en aviones o en sus oficinas; secretarias, hombres y mujeres de negocios,
miembros de las fuerzas armadas y trabajadores federales; mamás
y papás, amigos y vecinos. Miles de vidas fueron destruidas por
actos de terror malvados y despreciables.
Las imágenes de los aviones que volaban hacia los edificios,
de los incendios que ardían, del colapso de inmensas estructuras,
nos han llenado de incredulidad, de una tristeza terrible y de una ira
callada e inquebrantable. Se pretendió que estos actos de asesinatos
masivos asustaran a nuestra nación, llevándola hacia el
caos y la retirada. Pero han fracasado; nuestro país es fuerte.
Un gran pueblo ha sido llevado a defender a una gran nación.
Los ataques terroristas pueden sacudir los cimientos de nuestros mayores
edificios, pero no pueden tocar los cimientos de los Estados Unidos.
Estos actos destrozaron acero, pero no pueden mellar el acero de la
determinación estadounidense.
Estados Unidos fue blanco de un ataque porque somos el faro más
brillante de la libertad y oportunidad en el mundo. Y nadie hará
que esa luz deje de brillar.
Hoy, nuestra nación vió la maldad, lo peor de la naturaleza
humana. Y reaccionamos con lo mejor de los Estados Unidos -- con la
audacia de nuestros trabajadores de rescate, con el cariño de
los extraños y vecinos quienes acudieron a donar sangre y a ayudar
en la manera en que pudieran.
Inmediatamente después del primer ataque, implementé los
planes de respuesta a emergencias de nuestro gobierno. Nuestras fuerzas
armadas son poderosas y están preparadas. Nuestros equipos de
emergencia estaban trabajando en la Ciudad de Nueva York y en Washington,
D.C., para ayudar con los esfuerzos de rescate locales.
Nuestra primera prioridad es llevar ayuda a aquellos que fueron heridos,
y tomar todas las precauciones para proteger a nuestros ciudadanos en
casa y por todo el mundo de más ataques.
Las funciones de nuestro gobierno continúan sin interrupción.
Las agencias federales en Washington que hoy tuvieron que ser evacuadas
volverán a abrir esta noche para el personal esencial, y estarán
abiertas para operaciones mañana. Nuestras instituciones financieras
permanecerán sólidas, y la economía estadounidense
también estará lista para operaciones.
La búsqueda de aquellos que están detrás de estos
actos malvados está en camino. He encauzado todos los recursos
de nuestra inteligencia y nuestras comunidades que velan por el cumplimiento
de la ley para encontrar a aquellos responsables y enjuiciarlos. No
haremos distinción alguna entre los terroristas que cometieron
estos actos y aquellos que los protejan.
Estoy muy agradecido a los miembros del Congreso que se me han unido
en condenar firmemente estos ataques. Y en nombre del pueblo estadounidense,
agradezco a los muchos líderes internacionales quienes han llamado
a ofrecer su condolencia y asistencia.
Los Estados Unidos y nuestros amigos y aliados se unen con todos aquellos
que quieren la paz y la seguridad en el mundo, y somos solidarios para
ganar la guerra contra el terrorismo. Esta noche, pido sus oraciones
por todos aquellos quienes se acongojan, por los niños cuyos
mundos han sido deshechos, por todos aquellos cuya sensación
de seguridad ha sido amenazada. Y rezo por que los consuele un poder
superior a cualquiera de nosotros, el que se ha pronunciado a través
de las eras en el Salmo 23: "Aunque camine por el valle de la sombra
de la muerte, no temeré mal alguno; porque Tú estás
conmigo".
Este es el día en que todos los estadounidenses estamos unidos
por nuestra determinación a favor de la justicia y la paz. Estados
Unidos ha aplastado a nuestros enemigos anteriormente, y volveremos
a hacerlo esta vez. Ninguno de nosotros olvidará jamás
este día. Seguimos hacia adelante para defender la libertad y
todo lo que es justo y bueno en nuestro mundo.
Gracias. Buenas noches y que Dios bendiga a los Estados Unidos.

President Bush Meets with National Security Team
Remarks by the President In Photo Opportunity with the National Security
Team
The Cabinet Room
View the President's Remarks
Listen to the President's Remarks
10:53 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: I have just completed a meeting with my national security
team, and we have received the latest intelligence updates.
The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against
our country were more than acts of terror. They were acts of war. This
will require our country to unite in steadfast determination and resolve.
Freedom and democracy are under attack.
The American people need to know that we're facing a different enemy
than we have ever faced. This enemy hides in shadows, and has no regard
for human life. This is an enemy who preys on innocent and unsuspecting
people, then runs for cover. But it won't be able to run for cover forever.
This is an enemy that tries to hide. But it won't be able to hide forever.
This is an enemy that thinks its harbors are safe. But they won't be
safe forever.
This enemy attacked not just our people, but all freedom-loving people
everywhere in the world. The United States of America will use all our
resources to conquer this enemy. We will rally the world. We will be
patient, we will be focused, and we will be steadfast in our determination.
This battle will take time and resolve. But make no mistake about it:
we will win.
The federal government and all our agencies are conducting business.
But it is not business as usual. We are operating on a heightened security
alert. America is going forward, and as we do so, we must remain keenly
aware of the threats to our country. Those in authority should take
appropriate precautions to protect our citizens.
But we will not allow this enemy to win the war by changing our way
of life or restricting our freedoms. This morning, I am sending to Congress
a request for emergency funding authority, so that we are prepared to
spend whatever it takes to rescue victims, to help the citizens of New
York City and Washington, D.C. respond to this tragedy, and to protect
our national security.
I want to thank the members of Congress for their unity and support.
America is united. The freedom-loving nations of the world stand by
our side. This will be a monumental struggle of good versus evil. But
good will prevail.
Thank you very much.
