                         KENTUCKY BUS ACCIDENT

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I wish to send my sympathies to the 
many families in Kentucky affected by a terrible bus accident that 
occurred yesterday afternoon. A group of Waggener High School students 
were returning to Louisville after a visit to Eastern Kentucky 
University when their bus crashed on Interstate 64. Of the 42 people 
onboard, 34 were taken to area hospitals. Thankfully, news sources 
report no loss of life. I am going to continue to closely follow the 
details of this accident.
  The people of Kentucky, always generous of spirit, have already 
responded to this accident with an outpouring of support for the crash 
victims. I am grateful for that and I am grateful also that this 
situation was not much worse.
