“I join Senator Corker in expressing to the families of Justin and Stephanie our deepest sympathy and our horror at what happened to them in Brussels. I wish to thank Senator Corker as well. Because of his position as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he was able to do some things all of us would have liked to have been able to do. He was able to help the family by being a liaison with the families and the State Department. These are things he wouldn't say about himself, but I would like to say. He and his staff worked to help the family get expedited passports, and they have stayed in touch with the families. I hope the families of Justin and Stephanie will know that when Senator Corker and his staff are in touch with them, that they are in touch with them for all of us in the U.S. Senate and all of us as citizens of the State of Tennessee. There is so much on television today that is horrible and violent and terroristic that we have become immune to it. It is almost an unreality.…”
