                        BOSTON MARATHON VIOLENCE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, in the prayer given to the American people 
and to the Senate through our wonderful Chaplain, he basically said it 
all. We are still reeling from the senseless violence at the Boston 
Marathon yesterday. The one thing, though, we are united in is sympathy 
for the victims of this senseless attack and the families of the 
victims who are suffering today.
  Adding to the horror of this tragedy are the questions of who did 
this and why. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of 
Homeland Security are investigating this attack as aggressively as 
possible.
  As the President said last night, rest assured that the perpetrators 
will feel the full weight of justice for this terrible crime.
