                       JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON MARTIN

  (Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, this afternoon, I rise to thank 
those Members and witnesses who joined together yesterday to discuss 
the tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin: Representatives Conyers, Jackson 
Lee, Brown, Barbara Lee, Richmond, Nadler, Johnson, Green, Quigley, 
Rush, Deutch, Yvette Clarke, Danny Davis, Carson, Meeks, Sewell, 
Richardson, Waters, Chu, and Cohen.
  I cannot tell you how comforting it was, Mr. Speaker, to his parents 
and to everyone there to see such sharp, very strong support from this 
body. Together, we can continue to apply pressure in this case of 
Trayvon Martin, a little boy from my district, District 17, Miami-Dade 
County, Florida; and together we can make a difference. Thirty-two days 
and still no justice.
