                             TEXAS TRAGEDY

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I would like to say a brief word about 
last night's tragedy near Waco. From the media reports we have seen, 
there have clearly been a great many injuries and a terrible loss of 
life. We are all thinking of and praying for the victims and their 
families.
  Given the horrendous event at the Boston Marathon on Monday, followed 
by the event near Waco last night, it has been a very difficult week 
for all of us. Our hearts are a little bit heavier.
  I yield the floor.
