                           MOMENT OF SILENCE

  Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I note with sadness what took place at 
Oklahoma State. That was a terrible tragedy. I was reading about it in 
our papers in Kansas. That happened to Wichita State University about 
30 years ago. It still has not really healed. Somehow when you take 
that young life and that vibrant seed with the team, it really grabs a 
hole out of you that takes a long time to fill.
  My thoughts immediately turned to Wichita State when that happened to 
Oklahoma State. My thoughts and prayers are with the Senator and with 
Oklahoma.
  Mr. President, I wonder if it would be appropriate to have a moment 
of silent prayer for Oklahoma, for the tragedy they have experienced.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. There will be a moment of silence 
in the Chamber in memory of those who died.
  (Moment of silence.)
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Kansas is 
recognized.
