   MOMENT OF SILENCE HONORING RECENT CHABAD OF POWAY SHOOTING VICTIMS

  (Mr. PETERS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1

to speak of the tragic shooting that took place at the Chabad of Poway 
on Saturday. As the synagogue celebrated the last day of Passover, a 
19-year-old terrorist walked in and opened fire with an assault rifle.
  One woman was killed, and three others were badly hurt. Lori Gilbert-
Kaye died while selflessly trying to protect her rabbi from the gunman. 
She is recalled as a faith-filled, generous caregiver who put others

with action. We must act against gun violence and come together to stop 
the rising tide of white supremacy that plagues our Nation today.
  Please join me in a moment of silence.
