Messrs. ISRAEL, FILNER, and Ms. WILSON of Florida changed their vote
from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
Mr. LEWIS of California changed his vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''
So the previous question was ordered.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
(By unanimous consent, Mr. Perlmutter was allowed to speak out of
order.)
Aurora, Colorado Tragedy
Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I stand here with a lot of sadness with
my friends from the Colorado delegation. We Democrats and Republicans
are a pretty tight-knit group. We had a terrible incident in Aurora,
Colorado, on Friday, you all are well aware of, where 12 people were
killed and 58 were wounded. It is with sadness and grief that we come
before you today. As our Governor said at the vigil on Sunday night, we
will remember these 12 and those who were shot.
But there was a silver lining in this very, very dark moment in the
history of Colorado. We saw bravery and selflessness and heroism among
the people who were in the theater that night. Any one of us can tell
you stories of how complete strangers were willing to give up their own
lives to save the lives of the strangers next to them. In times when it
is difficult like that, you want to find bright spots--and there were
many. Another bright spot was the courage demonstrated by the Aurora
police and the fire department and the FBI and the ATF in the face of
what was a monstrous action by this guy.
In Colorado, we consider ourselves to be pretty tough. Aurorans,
where this act took place, are pretty tough. It hurts--we all hurt--but
we are resilient and we will get through it, and the stories being
shared of some of those who were injured actually really do lighten the
day. I know any one of us would be happy to talk to you all about that.
There has been a tremendous outpouring of sympathy and condolences
and compassion from all of you. I know I speak on behalf of our entire
delegation when I thank you for thinking about us and where we live and
our community, because we are in this together. We just thank you very
much.
Moment of Silence
So I ask that all of you stand with me and our delegation in a moment
of silence to honor the memory of those who were killed, the wounded
victims and all Americans during this time of healing. As I said once
before and as our Governor said, we will remember these people who were
hurt, and we will help them all along the way.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, 5-minute voting will
continue.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the resolution.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
Recorded Vote
Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 244,
noes 170, not voting 17, as follows:
