On the recordJune 10, 1997
Steven Burrell, Shannon Davis, Christopher Jones, Sarah Phillipps, Cynthia J. Smith, these are names of students, not the names of students who I would like to say today are in their communities and able to continue their education and add to their communities' benefit, and maybe one of these names could have found a cure for cancer, maybe one of these names would have done a great humanitarian effort. No, Mr. Chairman, the names I read, Steven Burrell, Shannon Davis, Christopher Jones, Sarah Phillipps, Cynthia J. Smith, these are the names of just a few of the 35 students from Syracuse University who cannot be with us today and never will be with us because they were passengers on Pan Am Flight 103, which was blown out of the sky by a powerful bomb over Lockerbie, Scotland. All told, all 259 passengers and crew aboard the plane were killed, along with 11 people on the ground.
