               MOMENT OF SILENCE IN MEMORY OF LIVES LOST

  (Mr. CLYBURN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLYBURN. Madam Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise to 
memorialize the lives of Justin Anderson, Travis Cale, Lauren Mahon, 
Cassidy Pendley, William Rhea, Allison Walden, all students of the 
University of South Carolina which I proudly represent here in this 
body, and Emily Yelton, a student of Clemson University.
  Madam Speaker, when young men and women go off to pursue education, 
their families hope for them a bright future and a long life. All seven 
of these young men and women lost their lives in a fire this weekend, 
and I join with those that I represent at the University of South 
Carolina in offering condolences to these families. I also say to the 
families of Clemson University, our hearts go out to all of them.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you and this body join me in a moment of 
silence in memory of these young people.
