               IN TRIBUTE TO VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

                                 ______


                            HON. DICK SWETT

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 30, 1994

  Mr. SWETT. Mr. Speaker, I stand in support of the Violence Against 
Women Act. If this important and necessary legislation had been passed 
earlier, perhaps the list of New Hampshire women who have died as a 
result of domestic violence would not be so long.
  I want to read the first names of a few New Hampshire women who have 
been killed as a result of domestic violence.:
  Ashley, Antoinette, Jackie, Tina, Candy, Kelly, Judy, Paula, Pauline, 
Jill, Joanna, Jean, Mary Kay, Patricia, Emily, Elise, Mary Jane, 
Sandra, Roberta, Doreen, Rebecca, Tammy Anne, Robin, Brenda, Melody, 
Sheila, Michelle, Wendy, Tammy Joe, Barbara, Deborah, Donna, Dawn, 
Margaret, Sharon, Carol-Anne, Sharon, Diane, June, Alene, Claudine, 
Lorraine, Valerie, Debra, Kristen, Emma, Janice, Wanda, Diane, Ginger, 
Fay, and Elaine.
  As a final point, I would like to recognize three New Hampshire 
children--Ashley, Holly, and Kelly--who were also killed as a result of 
domestic violence.
  Mr. Speaker, let us commit to do all we can to put an end to domestic 
violence and make certain that these horrible lists do not grow any 
longer.
