                     ON THE MURDER OF YONATAN SUHER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EARL BLUMENAUER

                               of oregon

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 11, 2016

  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep sadness that I express 
my condolences to the family and friends of Yonatan (Yoni) Suher--one 
of dozens killed or wounded on March 19th in a suicide bombing in 
Istanbul, Turkey. This horrific attack highlights the struggle we 
continue to face in ending these senseless acts of terrorism.
  Yoni was born in my hometown of Portland, Oregon, as was his father. 
He shared my love for the city, as well as for the Portland Trail 
Blazers, and visited his family there often.
  Though no longer with us, I know Yoni will live on in the hearts and 
minds of those nearest and dearest to him. I wish his loved ones all 
the best during this difficult time.
