      REMEMBERING VICTIMS OF NEW YORK'S DERAILMENT ON METRO-NORTH

  (Mr. GIBSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIBSON. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleagues for coming 
forward with these moving tributes. I want to add to those my 
condolences, and those of my family.
  This is a very resilient Nation, and New Yorkers in tough times like 
these, we come together. Every day I have thousands of my constituents 
who ride these trains back and forth to provide for their families. I 
pledge my support and those of our district as we ensure that a tragedy 
like this is not repeated.
