  WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THERE WOULD EVER BE A CONGRESS LIKE THIS ONE?

  (Ms. NORTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, who would have thought that our country 
would ever see so much gun carnage? Who would have thought that the 
killings would spread from districts like mine to districts of all my 
colleagues? Who would have thought there would ever be a Congress like 
this one who would have done nothing about the killing of children like 
those whose names I read killed since Columbine?
