                        Thursday, July 31, 2008

  Mr. ELLISON. Madam Speaker, last August 1, 2007, at 6:05 p.m., the 
Interstate 35W Bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota collapsed into the 
Mississippi River killing 13 people and injuring nearly 100 people. The 
13 victims were mothers, fathers, children, workers, good people, each 
and all.
  I ask my fellow colleagues to recognize a brief moment of silence to 
honor the victims and families of the tragic bridge collapse.
