                               RESOLUTION


 
            Extending sympathies to the people of Scotland.

Whereas all Americans were horrified by the news this morning that 16 
        kindergarten children and their teacher were shot and killed yesterday 
        in Dunblane, Scotland, by an individual who invaded their school;
Whereas another 12 children and 3 adults were apparently wounded in the same 
        terrible assault;
Whereas this was an unspeakable tragedy of huge dimensions causing tremendous 
        feelings of horror and anger and sadness affecting all people around the 
        world; and
Whereas the people of the United States wish to extend their sympathy to the 
        people of Scotland in their hours of hurt and pain and grief: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate, on behalf of the American people, does 
extend its condolences and sympathies to the families of the little 
children and others who were murdered and wounded, and to all the 
people of Scotland, with fervent hopes and prayers that such an 
occurrence will never, ever again take place.
