                       REMEMBERING BRETT SCROGHAM

  Mr. BANKS. Madam President, 23-year-old Brett Scrogham of Greenwood, 
IN, had a bright future ahead of him. After graduating recently as a 
top 100 student from the IU Kelley School of Business, Brett had plans 
to invest in housing properties and help his community grow and 
prosper.
  As a young child, Brett helped a neighbor rescue her dogs from a 
terrible house fire. Friends of his referred to him as ``a God-fearing 
Christian man'' who was always willing to help people.
  Though I never had the chance to meet him, it is clear to me that 
Brett was really an incredible person. And now I will never get the 
chance to meet this bright young man because, tragically, Brett was 
murdered in cold blood this weekend on his way to an Indianapolis 
Indians game with his family.
  The killing took place in a parking garage right next to the biggest 
church in downtown Indianapolis. College students and young families 
park there every week.
  I am heartbroken by this senseless act of violence. Brett's family is 
in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope that the Indianapolis 
Metropolitan Police Department will arrest the murderer soon--who is 
still at large.
