                           TRAGEDY IN BOSTON

  (Mr. MESSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MESSER. I rise on behalf of Indiana's Sixth Congressional 
District to express our condolences to the victims of yesterday's 
bombing in Boston. The thoughts and prayers of every American are with 
those who were killed and maimed by this unspeakable horror. We don't 
yet know who turned what should have been a day of triumph into a day 
of tragedy. But those whose lives have been forever changed by this 
terror should know that their government will not rest until the 
responsible are brought to justice.
  May God bless the victims, comfort their families, and continue to 
watch over the United States of America.
