                      OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY ATTACK

  (Mrs. BEATTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute the Ohio State 
University Buckeye community for its strength and resilience in 
response to the tragic incident when an Ohio State University student 
rammed his car into a crowd of students on the campus and then stabbed 
several of them in an attack that ended when a police officer shot and 
killed him.
  I applaud the university president, Michael Drake, university 
leadership, and its incredible student alert system, along with 
multiagency police officials for working together to enhance the safety 
and security of the university. These first responders acted quickly 
and selflessly, including an Ohio State University police officer who, 
within seconds, responded to the violence, containing injuries and 
diffusing the situation.
  I thank the medical team and staff at the Wexner Medical Center and 
surrounding hospitals for treating 11 patients to ensure full recovery.
  As the former senior vice president of outreach and engagement at the 
university, I was never prouder of how we came together quickly in the 
face of terror. I thank all at the university for continuing to 
exemplify the Buckeye spirit and remaining united, even in the face of 
adversity.
  Go Bucks.
