                            SCHOOL VIOLENCE

 Mr. HUTCHINSON. Mr. President, tomorrow, March 24, is the 
third anniversary of the tragic episode of school violence which 
occurred at Westside Middle School in Jonesboro, AR. I want the 
families and friends of Natalie Brooks, Paige Ann Herring, Stephanie 
Johnson, Brittheny Varner, and Shannon Wright to know that I will never 
forget their terrible loss and that my heart continues to ache for and 
with them. They are, and will continue to be, in my thoughts and 
prayers as I proceed with my efforts to make our schools the safe 
havens of learning that they should and must be.
