like people everywhere, I mourn the devastation and loss of life caused by the massive tsunami in South Asia. The enormity of the disaster is staggering and I extend my condolences to those around the world touched by this tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families in this time of overwhelming need. I applaud the outpouring of support by the many nations, organizations and individuals across the world who have responded quickly to the disaster. By working together, we will help rebuild the lives of the residents of South Asia. I will travel to South Asia next week and, through the generosity of numerous hospitals in my district of El Paso, Texas, will deliver medical supplies to assist in some small way with the relief and rebuilding process. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the resolution before us today, and ask all Americans to continue to keep the victims of this terrible tragedy in their prayers.
