On the recordMay 22, 2013
In the past week, Texas and Oklahoma have experienced a storm. We lost 6 in Lake Granbury, Texas; 2 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, on Sunday; and 24 in Moore, Oklahoma, including 10 children and 14 adults. We have been overwhelmed with the number of people that have come to us to say, ``We're praying for you.'' I would like to make a request that this body take a moment to pause and pray and experience a moment of silence in honor of those that have been lost and the recovery efforts ahead. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Womack). Members will rise and the House will observe a moment of silence. (By unanimous consent, Ms. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas was allowed to speak out of order.)
