       EXPRESSING CONDOLENCES TO NORTH CAROLINA SHOOTING VICTIMS

  (Mr. COBLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, eight people died 1 month ago when a gunman 
opened fire at the Pine Lake Health and Rehabilitation Center in 
Carthage, North Carolina. On that dreadful day, the staff and residents 
at Pine Lake Center responded very effectively and professionally. 
Equally professional and effective were the law enforcement community 
and the citizens of Carthage and Moore County.
  This cruel and unforgivable act imposed upon Pine Lake that day did 
not succeed in defeating the spirit of the Pine Lake facility, Carthage 
and Moore County.
  Mr. Speaker, we extend our condolences to the survivors of the eight 
whose lives were so brutally taken on that ill-fated day.
