                   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.
