                    BROWN STUDENTS RETURN TO CAMPUS

  (Mr. AMO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AMO. Mr. Speaker, today, students returned to class at Brown 
University to start a new semester after the mass shooting in December 
that took the lives of Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov and 
injured nine other students.
  My thoughts remain with the victims, their loved ones, and our whole 
community during what, I am sure, has been a difficult few days.
  For the Brown students who returned to campus this week, I want them 
to know we have their backs, and we are all thinking of them. If anyone 
is struggling, they should reach out for help.
  As Brown, Providence, and Rhode Island continue to heal, I join 
countless others in making sure our community, our city, and our State 
have all the support we need to recover. We are on a long journey, but 
I know we are on it together.
