“Mr. Speaker, I join with my colleagues today with respect to the delegation from Arizona who suffers and yet today comes to the floor of the House of Representatives to do their duty. To the colleagues of Ms. Giffords who today join in support, not only in prayerful support but as we stand together we speak clearly to say that the support for Congresswoman Giffords and all the victims of this tragic shooting and their families need to be remembered, and we offer full support. I was deeply shocked and saddened by these heartbreaking events and I join my colleagues and I know all of America looked on TV on Saturday as we all condemned not only in our own hearts but also as our families spoke around the tables about what had happened. We condemn this senseless act of violence. Congresswoman Giffords is a dedicated public servant and has served the people of Arizona for over 10 years.

I would see her often on the airplane as we would travel back every weekend. She is known by each of us as a kind and wonderful person who serves with honor and who is a very deeply genuine and a warm person with friends on both sides of the aisle.…”
