HONORING THE MEMORIES OF THE VICTIMS OF THE SENSELESS ATTACK AT MARJORY 
           STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL ON FEBRUARY 14, 2018

  Mr. SCOTT of Florida. Mr. President, it is hard to believe that it 
has been 5 years since February 14, 2018--the tragic day that the world 
witnessed a senseless attack and the loss of 17 innocent lives at 
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL.
  Today, I again come before the Senate to introduce this resolution to 
honor the 17 beautiful lives that were stolen from us that day. I think 
of them often. I talk to their families. They were sons and daughters, 
parents and partners. Some were educators, athletes, musicians; many of 
them, just kids with a life full of promise ahead of them. My heart 
breaks knowing they never got the chance to pursue their dreams and 
that their families will forever have a piece of their heart missing.
  While we can't bring back the lives lost on that tragic day 5 years 
ago, I will always work to honor them and do everything in my power to 
protect our students and educators and ensure they have a safe 
environment to learn and succeed.
  As in legislative session, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the consideration of S. Res. 60, which is at the desk.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 60) honoring the memories of the 
     victims of the senseless attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas 
     High School on February 14, 2018.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
