            SHARING STUDENTS' `MARCH FOR OUR LIVES' REMARKS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. STENY H. HOYER

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 24, 2018

  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, on May 9, I came to the Floor and spoke about 
the March For Our Lives on March 24 and the nine extraordinarily poised 
students in Morristown, New Jersey, who spoke at the rally there, which 
I attended. I include in the Record remarks by Danilo Lopez. I hope my 
colleagues will read them and internalize the sense of fear in which 
our nation's students are living every day--and our responsibility as 
Members of Congress to do something to address this crisis of gun 
violence.

              March for Our Lives' Remarks by Danilo Lopez

       Hello, my name is Danilo Lopez, and I am a junior at Dover 
     High School. I would now like to read a list of those who 
     lost their lives in the terrible shooting in Parkland, 
     Florida, February 14, 2018: Alyssa Alhadeff; Scott Beigel; 
     Martin Duque Anguiano; Nicholas Dworet; Aaron Feis; Jaime 
     Guttenberg; Chris Hixon; Luke Hoyer; Cara Loughran; Gina 
     Montalto; Joaquin Oliver; Alaina Petty; Meadow Pollack; 
     Helena Ramsay; Alex Schachter; Carmen Schentrup; and Peter 
     Wang.
       Let us hope and pray that they are in a better place, and 
     we will always remember. To honor the victims, I would now 
     like us to all have a moment of silence.

                          ____________________
