 MOMENT OF SILENCE IN MEMORY OF VICTIMS OF WEST VIRGINIA MINE DISASTER

  (Mr. RAHALL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. RAHALL. Madam Speaker, it was 1 week and 1 day ago that a 
devastating blast in a coal mine outside of my hometown took the lives 
of 29 courageous coal miners. One more is hanging on in the hospital.
  I ask that the House have a moment of silent prayer for those who 
have lost their lives in this tragedy.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The House will observe a moment of silence 
in respect of the memory of those victimized by the tragedy in West 
Virginia.
