“I note with sadness what took place at Oklahoma State. That was a terrible tragedy. I was reading about it in our papers in Kansas. That happened to Wichita State University about 30 years ago. It still has not really healed. Somehow when you take that young life and that vibrant seed with the team, it really grabs a hole out of you that takes a long time to fill. My thoughts immediately turned to Wichita State when that happened to Oklahoma State. My thoughts and prayers are with the Senator and with Oklahoma. Mr. President, I wonder if it would be appropriate to have a moment of silent prayer for Oklahoma, for the tragedy they have experienced.”
