REMEMBERING SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL 
                                SHOOTING

  (Mr. DEUTCH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DEUTCH. Madam Speaker, it has been 2 years since the shooting at 
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
  In those 2 years, the surviving families and students have turned 
their pain into power. They stood up to gun companies. They testified 
before Congress. They helped craft and pass legislation. They worked 
with the Federal Government. They worked with the State government. 
They won school board seats. They made beautiful, moving art. Students 
have lifted their voices, written songs. They have walked out and they 
have marched. That is what the survivors of my community are doing.
  But there is so much more that Congress and the President can do to 
save lives from gun violence. There is so much more we can do to honor 
the lives that were lost at Stoneman Douglas: Alyssa, Scott, Martin, 
Nicholas, Aaron, Jaime, Chris, Luke, Cara, Gina, Joaquin, Alaina, 
Meadow, Helena, Alex, Carmen, and Peter.
