                PRAYER FOR THE VICTIMS IN ODESSA, TEXAS

  (Mr. CONAWAY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CONAWAY. Madam Speaker, I rise to offer a prayer for the victims 
of the tragic violence in Odessa, Texas, on August 31.
  The victims were: Mary Granados, Leilah Hernandez, Edwin Peregrino, 
Joe Griffith, Rodolfo Julio Arco, Kameron Karltess Brown, and Raul 
Garcia.
  Heavenly Father, we come to You today asking for prayer, asking for 
peace that passes all understanding on the men and women in Odessa, 
Texas, and the families of the suffering.
  We ask that You wrap Your loving arms around them at this dark hour 
in their lives. Thank You, dear Heavenly Father.
  We ask these things in Jesus' name.
  I would also like to recognize the law enforcement officers and first 
responders of Midland and Odessa who acted quickly and courageously in 
their response to this tragedy. We owe these brave men and women more 
gratitude than words can express.
