                         GUN SAFETY LEGISLATION

  (Ms. SCHAKOWSKY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Mr. Speaker, in my hometown of Evanston, Illinois, I 
have been to three funerals in recent months. I have cried with 
grieving parents bearing their children because of senseless gun 
violence. To honor the memories of those children, I pledge my support 
for gun safety legislation and continue the roll call of names of 
children who have been killed by gunfire since Columbine:
  Susie King, age 11, killed by gunfire on May 23, 1999, West Lampeter, 
Pennsylvania; Lee Brown, age 16, killed by gunfire on May 27, 1999, 
Forest Park, Georgia; Armando Garcia, age 16, killed by gunfire on May 
28, 1999, San Bernardino, California; Angela Yglesias, age 18, killed 
by gunfire May 28, 1999, Detroit, Michigan; Antonio Munoz, age 17, 
killed by gunfire on May 30, 1999, Providence, Rhode Island; Iris 
Turull, age 3, killed by gunfire on May 31, 1999, Bronx, New York; 
Daron Mitchell, age 18, killed by gunfire on May 31, 1999, Akron, Ohio; 
Allen Darrington, age 17, killed by gunfire on June 1, 1999, Kansas 
City.
