On the recordApril 27, 1999
I thank my colleague. I, too, thank the leadership for affording the Senate an opportunity to express our profound sorrow and to offer condolences to the families and friends of the fallen people of Littleton, CO. The tragic truth is that the angels are now carrying the souls of 13 innocent people to the everlasting glory of heaven. A resolution alone would never express the degree of sorrow we feel. Certainly all of America has much to do to heal our Nation and to rid ourselves of hate and vengeance. Until that resolution is pending, and in order to observe, acknowledge, and honor a moment of silence called for throughout the State of Colorado, I now ask that the Senate observe a moment of silent prayer for 2 minutes.
