                        Mississippi Plane Crash

  Mr. President, first, I send my sincere condolences to the Marine 
Corps, which lost 15 of its finest today, as well as 1 Navy corpsman, 
in a plane crash in Mississippi. It was the deadliest crash in the 
Marine Corps family since 2005. According to reports, the aircraft that 
crashed this morning was based at Stewart Air National Guard Base in my 
home State of New York.
  Our hearts break for the families of these sailors and marines. We 
mourn their loss and wish comfort to their families and their loved 
ones in this time of tragedy.
  May they rest in peace.
