 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives 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 13 students and teachers and wounding 
        more than 20 students and teachers;
Whereas this act of brutal violence is regarded as the deadliest school massacre 
        in the history of the United States of America; and
Whereas local, State, and Federal law enforcement personnel performed their 
        duties admirably in the six hour siege and risked their lives for the 
        safety of the students, faculty, and staff at Columbine High School: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (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.
