           THE 12TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DIANE E. WATSON

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 16, 2007

  Ms. WATSON. Madam Speaker, this Wednesday, April 19, 2007 marks the 
12th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing that claimed 168 lives 
and left over 800 injured. 19 of the victims were children. On the 
occasion of the 12th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, I want 
to acknowledge those who lost their lives as well as the family and 
friends left behind. I further acknowledge the selfless sacrifice and 
courage Oklahoma City family members made in their embrace of 9/11 
family members following the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. 
The exchange that has taken place since that time is great evidence of 
how Americans come together in time of need.
  Let us never forget those who lost their lives on this day of infamy 
as well as the living who have been so profoundly affected by this 
national tragedy.
