                           Georgia Shootings

  Mr. PADILLA. Mr. President, I want to begin by joining with so many 
of our colleagues and leaders around the country expressing our 
condolences to the victims of the senseless shootings in Atlanta 
yesterday, in sharing our thoughts and prayers to their families and 
friends. Our heart goes out to the greater community, and, of course, 
we stand here to not only try to understand better what happened, how 
it happened, but do the work necessary to try to ensure that it doesn't 
happen again--not in Atlanta, not anywhere in the United States of 
America.
