EXPRESSING SYMPATHY OF THE HOUSE TO THE FAMILIES OF THE PARATROOPERS AT 
                          POPE AIR FORCE BASE

  (Mr. FOLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FOLEY. Mr. Speaker, this morning I would like to express our 
sorrow and deepest sympathy of the House, as stated so eloquently by 
the gentleman from North Carolina [Mr. Rose], for the death of 15 
Airborne soldier-paratroopers who died yesterday at Pope Air Force 
Base, and the 90 more who were injured. This House sends its sympathy 
to all of their families.


      expressing sympathy and sorrow to the mexican people on the 
                 assassination of Luis Donaldo Colosio

  Mr. Speaker, yesterday also saw a great tragedy in our sister 
Republic of Mexico, and I want to begin this morning by expressing on 
behalf of this House our sympathy and sorrow to the President and 
Congress of Mexico and to the Mexican people at the assassination 
yesterday of Luis Donaldo Colosio, the Presidential candidate of the 
Institutional Revolutionary Party of Mexico. This country is bound by 
increasingly close ties with our neighbor state, ties that will only 
grow stronger in the future. I am sure all the Members join me in 
deploring this senseless act and reaffirming our support and the 
support of this country for our neighbors in Mexico and for Mexican 
democracy.
