                          PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Will the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer) 
come forward and lead the House in the Pledge of Allegiance.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I would ask all Members and guests to join me 
in pledging allegiance to the flag, which stands for the principles for 
which Detective Gibson and Officer Chestnut have so recently given 
their lives.
  Mr. HOYER led the Pledge of Allegiance as follows:

       I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of 
     America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation 
     under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
