             MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR PULSE NIGHTCLUB VICTIMS

  (Mr. SOTO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. SOTO. Mr. Speaker, 10 years ago this Friday, our happy little 
town of Orlando was the subject of the deadliest mass shooting in 
history at that time. It happened at the Pulse nightclub, an LGBTQ+ 
nightclub, during Latin night. We lost 49 of our brothers and sisters, 
and 53 others were wounded.
  Tonight, we rise to remember them, the first responders, their 
families, and our community as we continue to heal after this terrible 
tragedy, and I ask for a moment of silence.
