On the recordMay 1, 1995
This year's spring break tragically, as we all know, was overshadowed by the terrible bomb blast that occurred April 19 in Oklahoma City. Our hearts and our prayers go out to the victims, their families, the entire Oklahoma community, and all the extraordinary Americans who have rallied together in this time of crisis. So many people were touched by this tragedy. Even in remote southwest Florida that I represent the grief was felt in families who lost loved ones who were killed in the blast. We certainly applaud the efforts of the President, Federal and local law enforcement, and Members of this Congress in coming together to bring the perpetrators to justice and explore the challenge of preventing such a tragedy from recurring again.
