                           NAVY YARD TRAGEDY

  Mr. ISAKSON. Mr. President, before I make my remarks, I would like to 
join Senator Thune and others on the Senate floor who have expressed 
their compassion and their sympathy for the survivors and the victims 
of yesterday's terrible tragedy at the Washington Navy Yard. Yesterday 
was but another grim reminder of the dangerous society we live in, the 
danger that can confront all of us, and the need for all of us to be 
aware and do everything we can to make sure our environment is secure 
and safe.
  To those who were injured, those who sacrificed their lives, those 
whose loved ones were hit, may God bless their souls and may God bless 
them in their recovery during this period while dealing with this 
terrible tragedy.
