                           THE BOSTON TRAGEDY

  (Ms. EDWARDS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I had planned to come to the floor this 
evening, as we do every Monday, to talk about the importance of climate 
change and the importance of this country addressing an issue that is 
so critical in front of us. But it seems tonight that it's actually 
quite more appropriate to offer my sincere condolences to the people of 
Boston, Massachusetts, but most especially to those who've been injured 
and lost their lives and to their families, and to offer up from the 
Fourth Congressional District and from all of us as Americans, that we 
stand united behind this city in its efforts to bring those who 
committed this great harm to justice, but also to stand with the 
families of first responders and all of those who are called to action.
