                               EAGLES ACT

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, we are all very much concerned about 
several mass instances of violence around the country. The Secret 
Service has a program of alerting people to some of those things and 
training people.
  Understanding the common factors of the past acts of mass violence 
can help us prevent future tragedies. The Secret Service, through its 
National Threat Assessment Center, compiles and studies data on these 
risk factors.
  Yesterday, the Secret Service released its report entitled ``Mass 
Attacks in Public Spaces,'' which confirms that there are often warning 
signs before targeted violence.
  Following up on the expertise of the Secret Service, I introduced a 
bill that goes by the acronym EAGLES Act to expand the National Threat 
Assessment Center to conduct additional research and training to 
prevent targeted violence.
  Congress should pass this law to help stop violence before it 
happens.
  I yield the floor.
