 MOMENT OF SILENCE HONORING VICTIMS OF SHOOTING AT TODAY'S SUPER BOWL 
                                 PARADE

  (Ms. DAVIDS of Kansas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. DAVIDS of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to take a moment to 
acknowledge the heartbreak that so many people in the Kansas City metro 
area, Kansas and Missouri, are feeling right now.
  I am positive that more eloquent words will be spoken in the future, 
and we will have many conversations about this. However, today, we had 
a tragedy occur, and I would like for us to take a moment of silence to 
honor the victims and families of those who are suffering right now.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Cleaver) for 
a few words.
  Mr. CLEAVER. Mr. Speaker, this was supposed to be one of the great 
celebrations. We won the Super Bowl and probably had a million or so 
people at the parade. In a great tragedy that has befallen all of us 
over and over again, a shooter has ruined the lives of many people who 
attended and those who represent them. Amen.
