                    ANNIVERSARY OF JONESBORO TRAGEDY

 Mr. HUTCHINSON. Mr. President, tomorrow, March 24, is the 2-
year anniversary of the day on which Natalie Brooks, Paige Ann Herring, 
Stephanie Johnson, Brittheny Varner, and Shannon Wright were the 
victims of senseless violence at the Westside Middle School in 
Jonesboro, AR. Today, I rise simply to offer my condolences to their 
families and friends and to the other victims of that tragedy. They 
are, and will continue to be, in my thoughts and prayers.
