               MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR THE PEOPLE OF BURMA

  (Mr. CROWLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CROWLEY. Madam Speaker, my colleagues, we just passed a 
resolution expressing the condolences and sympathy of the House of 
Representatives to the people of Burma, who are suffering incredible 
loss of life and destruction, mass destruction, within Burma because of 
the effects of Cyclone Nargis.
  I would ask, if we could, on behalf of the suffering people of Burma, 
the millions of people who are without clean water, without proper 
sanitary conditions, without food, who are suffering incredibly, if we 
could stand for a moment of silence in their memory and on behalf of 
all the people of Burma today.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members will rise and observe a moment of 
silence.
