                         Tuesday, May 25, 2021

  Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Madam Speaker, on Wednesday, May 19, 2021, 
I was unfortunately not present for roll call vote 149 on agreeing to 
H. Res. 275, Condemning the horrific shootings in Atlanta, Georgia, on 
March 16, 2021, and reaffirming the House of Representative's 
commitment to combating hate, bigotry, and violence against the Asian-
American and Pacific Islander community. I fully condemn the shootings 
in Atlanta on March 16, 2021, and stand fully committed to combating 
hate, bigotry, and violence against the Asian-American and Pacific 
Islander community. Had I been present for this vote, I would have 
voted AYE on roll call vote 149.
