                        TRAGEDY IN SAUDI ARABIA

  Mr. CAMPBELL. Madam President, as the bodies of the servicemembers 
killed in Tuesday's terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia arrive today at 
Dover Air Force Base, I join my colleagues in expressing my deepest 
condolences to those families who must now endure the pains of this 
senseless tragedy. Words cannot adequately express the sorrow our 
Nation feels for the loss of these soldiers who have made this ultimate 
sacrifice in service to our country. Fortunately, none of the nearly 40 
service people from Colorado who were caught in this terrorist bombing 
were killed, although some sustained serious injuries.
  It is my sincere hope that the cowardly extremists responsible for 
this horrendous act are soon caught and swiftly brought to justice. I 
trust my colleagues in this Chamber will work closely with the 
administration and the Saudi Government to ensure their apprehension. I 
am also hopeful that the necessary actions will be taken to prevent any 
future assaults on the service men and women who guard and protect the 
peace not only in this region but throughout the world.
