            REMEMBERING THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN BOSNIA

  Ms. MOSELEY-BRAUN. At this time, Mr. President, I also call upon my 
colleagues and the American people to offer a prayer in behalf of the 
late Secretary of Commerce, Ron Brown, and the 34 others who died with 
him that tragic day in Bosnia. They were serving our Nation. They were 
pursuing the goals of peace, and their deaths all came too soon. 
Because of those losses, as a country we have lost so much.
  I appreciate the majority leader giving us this opportunity to 
express our great sympathy and condolences to their families and again 
to give us a chance to reaffirm the mission; that they have all given 
their lives in pursuit of the higher goals of our Nation.
  Thank you very much, Mr. President. I yield the floor.
  Mr. DOLE. I now ask, in response to the statement by my colleague 
from Illinois, that we now observe a moment of silence in honor of the 
memory of Ron Brown and others who died in that tragic accident.
  [A period of silence.]
  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. KERREY. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Burns). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
