                                 ______
                                 

    SENATE RESOLUTION 71--HONORING THE MEMORY OF THE VICTIMS OF THE 
  SENSELESS ATTACK AT MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL 1 YEAR AGO

  Mr. RUBIO (for himself and Mr. Scott of Florida) submitted the 
following resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                               S. Res. 71

       Whereas, on February 14, 2018, a mass shooting that took 
     the lives of 17 teachers and students took place at Marjory 
     Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida;
       Whereas the people of the United States continue to pray 
     for those who were affected by this tragedy;
       Whereas President Donald Trump stated: ``No child, no 
     teacher, should ever be in danger in an American school. No 
     parent should ever have to fear for their sons and daughters 
     when they kiss them goodbye in the morning.'';
       Whereas the Parkland community has shown strength, 
     compassion, and unity in the past year; and
       Whereas February 14, 2019, marks 1 year since the horrific 
     attack: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) commemorates the victims killed in the attack and 
     offers heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to the 
     families, loved ones, and friends of the victims;
       (2) honors the survivors and pledges continued support for 
     their recovery;
       (3) recognizes the strength and resilience of the Marjory 
     Stoneman Douglas High School community; and
       (4) expresses gratitude to the emergency medical and health 
     care professionals of the Parkland community for their 
     efforts in responding to the attack and caring for the 
     victims and survivors.
