         MARYLANDERS WHO HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

  (Mrs. MORELLA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks and include extraneous 
material.)
  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, every year, on a night that is always 
bitterly cold, a memorial service is held in Annapolis, MD, for the 
women and children who have died during the year at the hands of their 
loved ones. In February, the names of 73 Marylanders--women, boys, and 
girls--were read and remembered.
  Forty-one were killed with guns, 18 with knives, 5 were strangled, 6 
were burned to death, and 1 was scalded; 1 was killed with a carving 
fork, another was beaten to death.
  Mr. Speaker, I have the names of those people which I will insert in 
the Record. Let us urge our conferees to act promptly to bring back 
this crime bill which includes the Violence Against Women Act. We can 
do no less.
