                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 16, 1998

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I am sure all of my colleagues in the House 
of Representatives were horrified by the tragic loss of life in the 
bombings of our embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. Twelve 
Americans and nearly 300 Africans were killed and more than 5,000 
people were injured.
  We extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of 
those who died and to those who were injured. The nation owes an 
enormous debt of gratitude to the men and women who serve our interests 
overseas, and to their families. We mourn their loss.
  For the benefit of my colleagues, the following is a list of the 
names of the individuals who served in our embassies in Kenya and 
Tanzania who died as a result of the blasts.
