On the recordFebruary 12, 2002
Mr. Speaker, this year has made us especially sensitive to how precious life is--and how tragedy can befall each of us without warning. I extend my own personal condolences--as well as through this resolution--to those who lost loved ones on TAME Flight 120. Ecuador and Colombia have been strong allies of the United States. Our peoples share strong and deep ties of family and history--Members of my own district being one of many examples. Their sorrow is our sorrow. And as we also know well--that which can get us through such tragedies are the support of our family and friends. So I again express my heartfelt condolences, and encourage all of my colleagues to support this resolution.
