  CONDEMNING THE SHOOTING THAT KILLED SIX INNOCENT PEOPLE AT THE SIKH 
     TEMPLE OF WISCONSIN IN OAK CREEK, WISCONSIN, ON AUGUST 5, 2012

  Mr. FARENTHOLD. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform be discharged from further 
consideration of House Resolution 775, and ask for its immediate 
consideration in the House.
  The Clerk read the title of the resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Mulvaney). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
  The text of the resolution is as follows:

                              H. Res. 775

       Whereas on Sunday, August 5, 2012, a shooting took place at 
     the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, Wisconsin;
       Whereas as a result of the shooting, six innocent 
     individuals lost their lives while preparing to attend a 
     Sunday morning worship;
       Whereas three individuals were severely injured in the 
     attack;
       Whereas many individuals and members of the Sikh community 
     selflessly sought to aid and protect others above their own 
     safety; and
       Whereas the quick action of law enforcement officials 
     prevented additional losses of life: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
       (1) condemns the senseless attack at the Sikh Temple of 
     Wisconsin in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, on Sunday, August 5, 2012;
       (2) offers condolences to the families, friends, and loved 
     ones who were killed in the attack and expresses hope for the 
     full recovery of those injured in the attack;
       (3) honors the selfless, dedicated service of--
       (A) the emergency response teams and law enforcement 
     officials who responded to the attack; and
       (B) law enforcement officials who continue to investigate 
     the attack; and
       (4) remains hopeful, as additional details regarding the 
     attack are gathered, that the citizens of this country will 
     come together, united in a shared desire for peace and 
     justice while standing with the Sikh community to grieve the 
     loss of life.

  The resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
