                  NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE SURVIVORS WEEK

  (Mr. CROW asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CROW. Madam Speaker, I rise today in solemn observance of 
National Gun Violence Survivors Week.
  Colorado is home, and I am proud to represent the communities of 
Colorado's Sixth Congressional District, communities that have seen the 
horrors of gun violence firsthand.
  Too many of my constituents bear the scars of gun violence long after 
their wounds have healed. Some never heal. In honor of their pain, 
their courage, and their advocacy, we must call on the Senate to pass 
the commonsense reforms that have already been approved in the House.
  We must act now for Julie from Highlands Ranch, Colorado, who was 
shot when she was 13. Julie was left paralyzed from the chest down, 
requiring her to walk with canes and braces for the rest of her life. 
My heart is with Julie for having the courage to speak out in support 
of commonsense reforms.

  We must act now for all survivors like Julie and we must act now for 
those who no longer have a voice.
