                           AURORA REMEMBRANCE

  (Mr. PERLMUTTER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with Mr. Coffman, Ms. 
DeGette, Mr. Polis, and Mr. Gardner in remembrance of the 1-year 
anniversary of the Aurora theater shooting.
  Over the past year, victims and their families and those who lost 
loved ones have shown incredible courage in the face of such a terrible 
tragedy. That fateful night claimed the lives of those we will never 
forget and whose lives we will honor every day. This tragedy has not 
and will not define the city of Aurora, or the Denver area, or 
Colorado.
  We want to thank and recognize the outstanding work of the police 
officers, medical staffs, and first responders who acted bravely and 
selflessly on July 20 and continue to serve the people of Aurora and 
Denver every day.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask for a moment of silence for those who were killed 
and for those who were maimed physically and emotionally last year in 
the Aurora, Colorado, theater shooting.
