                        BOULDER, COLORADO ATTACK

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, yet again, I am here to draw attention 
and to condemn another outrageous attack that was aimed at the Jewish 
community here in the United States--specifically, Boulder, CO.
  Yesterday, a deranged individual took a homemade flamethrower and 
Molotov cocktails to attack individuals marching for the release of 
Israeli hostages held by the terrorist group Hamas. This deranged 
individual allegedly yelled the words ``free Palestine.'' He yelled 
this during the attack.
  Reporting suggests that the individual may have overstayed his visa 
that the Biden administration gave him and was then in the country 
illegally.
  This is the third high-profile attack on the Jewish community in the 
last 2 months. This sort of hate is completely unacceptable in our 
society, and, of course, we all know it needs to stop.
  I commend FBI Director Patel for quickly responding and launching a 
full investigation into this targeted attack. I trust that the FBI and 
law enforcement will do their job and swiftly find justice for these 
victims.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BENNET. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The Senator from Colorado.
