                       TRAGEDY IN SOUTH CAROLINA

  Mr. KING. Mr. President, before beginning my remarks, I want to 
express my profound sorrow, sympathy, and condolences to the people of 
South Carolina and the people of Charleston for the tragedy that 
occurred last night. To my colleagues, Senators Scott and Graham, and 
to all the people of South Carolina, these things are very hard to 
understand, very hard to fathom, and I think I speak for all of our 
colleagues when I say our hearts go out to the people of South Carolina 
this morning concerning this unspeakable tragedy.
