                               SREBRENICA

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, there is an area in Bosnia that goes 
by the name of Srebrenica. This month is the 25th anniversary of a 
massacre that took place there. It happens to be the worst genocide on 
European soil since the Holocaust.
  Twenty-five years ago, 8,000 Bosnians were murdered out of ethnic and 
religious hatred. Many Bosnians, who witnessed this horrific atrocity, 
became refugees and found a home in my State of Iowa. We must remember 
for those Bosnians, Iowans, and for all Bosnians who suffer as they 
continue to deal with unimaginable memories. It is also important for 
the rest of us to make a point of remembering what has happened so we 
can prevent it from happening again.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
order for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
