On the recordApril 26, 1999
last Wednesday, I came to the floor of the Senate to thank my colleagues who offered their sympathies for the victims and their families involved in the tragic shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. I also wanted the people in Colorado to know that our hearts in the United States Senate were with all of the families through this terrible and tragic time. Since then, the victims have been identified. Today, it is with deep sadness that I include for the Record the names of the innocent victims at Columbine High School. I believe it is a fitting tribute for the United States Senate to recognize these 12 students and one teacher who lost their lives in such an unthinkable way.
