   40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BRUTAL ATTACK ON THE GOLDEN TEMPLE BY THE 
                              INDIAN ARMY

  (Mr. NORCROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NORCROSS. Madam Speaker, today, I rise in solidarity with south 
Jersey's Sikh community.
  This week marks the 40th anniversary of a brutal attack by the Indian 
Army on the Golden Temple, the holiest shrine of Sikhism in which 
thousands of innocent Sikh pilgrims were killed.
  Since this senseless violence, many Sikhs have sought refuge in the 
United States, including south Jersey. They built their lives here, 
made countless contributions to the educational, economic, religious, 
and cultural richness of our region. They also keep the names and 
memories of those who were killed in 1984 alive.
  Today, I join with the Sikh community in remembering those lost in 
this horrific attack and to honor those who carry on their legacy 
today.
