Expressing the sense of Congress with respect to the tragic shooting at 
             Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado.

Whereas on April 20, 1999, two armed gunmen opened fire at Columbine High School 
        in Littleton, Colorado, killing 12 students and 1 teacher and wounding 
        more than 20 others; and
Whereas local, State, and Federal law enforcement personnel performed their 
        duties admirably and risked their lives for the safety of the students, 
        faculty, and staff at Columbine High School: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the heinous 
        atrocities which occurred at Columbine High School in 
        Littleton, Colorado;
            (2) offers its condolences to the families, friends, and 
        loved ones of those who were killed at Columbine High School 
        and expresses its hope for the rapid and complete recovery of 
        those wounded in the shooting;
            (3) applauds the hard work and dedication exhibited by the 
        hundreds of local, State, and Federal law enforcement officials 
        and the others who offered their support and assistance; and
            (4) encourages the American people to engage in a national 
        dialogue on preventing school violence.
