                 TRAGEDY IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA

  Mr. SULLIVAN. Mr. President, I wish to start by offering prayers and 
thoughts--I think of every Member of the Senate--to the families of 
those who were killed in last night's horrific, horrific shooting in 
South Carolina. No words can undo the incredible pain that they are 
going through, but I think knowing that Members of this body and the 
entire Congress are thinking and praying for these families is 
something that I just wish to state on the Senate floor before I begin 
to talk about this very important bill.
