ANNIVERSARY OF OAK CREEK SHOOTING
(Ms. CHU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. CHU. Mr. Speaker, a year ago, the Sikhs at the Oak Creek,
Wisconsin, temple, or gurdwara, were peacefully preparing meals for
Sunday worship, but that peace was shattered when a 40-year-old neo-
Nazi man walked in and began shooting anyone in his path. I stand here
today to honor the six victims of this senseless massacre:
Suveg Singh Khattra
Satwant Singh Kaleka
Ranjit Singh
Sita Singh
Paramjit Kaur
Prakash Singh
You will never be forgotten.
Sikhs have been the targets of discrimination and violence. Just this
week, the word ``terrorist'' was scrawled against the wall of a
gurdwara in Riverside.
In the memory of Oak Creek, we will recommit to fighting against
intolerance wherever and whenever it occurs so that the lives of those
six brave souls will not be lost in vain.
