                         A TRAGEDY IN MONTCLAIR

  Mr. BRADLEY. Mr. President, yesterday in Montclair, NJ, four people 
were gunned down and a fifth was wounded when a man entered a postal 
substation and opened fire. Montclair is a wonderful community. It is 
like so many other towns in New Jersey where neighbors know each other, 
care for one another, and are proud of the community spirit that they 
share. That should not change, even in the wake of this tragedy.
  What occurred yesterday also reminds us that there are no town 
borders around violence. Montclair, West Caldwell, Franklin Township, 
Piscataway--it finds us all. It is always senseless. It is always 
painful.
  I offer my deepest sympathy to the families and friends and neighbors 
of each of the victims of yesterday's violence. I have just talked to 
the mayor and the police chief and they have apprehended the individual 
they think could be responsible. I applaud them for their action.
  My sympathy goes to the families of these victims.
