                 TRIMBLE TECH STUDENTS AT SXSW FESTIVAL

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to the tragic events that took 
place in Austin, Texas, on Thursday at the annual South by Southwest 
Festival.
  A suspected drunk driver being chased by the Austin police slammed 
his car into the festival crowd. Two of those injured were in high 
school. Curtisha Davis--known as ``Tish''--and Deandre Tatum--called 
``Dre''--students at Trimble Tech High School in my hometown of Fort 
Worth, Texas.
  Curtisha is a senior and has broken bones and other injuries, and 
Deandre is in the intensive-care unit under a medically induced coma at 
the University Medical Center at Brackenridge.
  Please continue to pray for the Trimble Tech family. It is a very 
close-knit family at Trimble Tech High School, known as the Bulldogs. I 
ask for the prayers of everyone.
  There was a death involved in this particular tragedy, and I ask for 
prayers for all the families affected, including these two young people 
from my hometown, Curtisha and Deandre.
