                 FOR BOBBY MUELLER, OF WASHINGTON STATE

  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, when tragedy strikes our own life or the 
life of a loved one, it brings excruciating pain and sorrow. Recently a 
young man from my home State of Washington was tragically injured in a 
car accident. Today my heartfelt thoughts are with Bobby Mueller, his 
family, and friends.
  Bobby Mueller, 23, grew up in Bothell, WA, and attended Westhill 
Elementary and Bothell High School. He went on to attend the University 
of Washington, where he graduated recently. Bobby's strong foundation 
of home--of family and friends and support--are what he wanted to 
provide to others: Bobby sought out teaching as his noble profession. 
But, tragically, his dream is a little farther away.
  Mr. President, Bobby Mueller was visiting family recently in Indiana 
when he was tragically injured in a car accident after returning home 
from a Pittsburg Pirates baseball game. Bobby now lies in the Neuro-
Critical Care Unit of Methodist Hospital, in Indianapolis, IN.
  Bobby wanted to become a school teacher and to help make a difference 
in the lives of others. His positive attitude and presence continue to 
affect many lives. My thoughts and prayers go out to Bobby for a speedy 
recovery, and to his family, friends, and community, who will provide 
strength and stand by his side throughout this struggle.
  (Later the following occurred. It appears at this point by unanimous 
consent.)
