Expressing Sense of House Regarding Arizona Shooting

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. TONKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of Congresswoman GIFFORDS, her staff, the injured, those who lost their lives and all of their families and loved ones--all of whom remain in our thoughts and prayers following this past Saturday's horrible and tragic event. Having the opportunity to serve with GABBY on the Science and Technology Committee in Congress has truly been a blessing as she embraces the human spirit in all her work.

GABBY is not a weathervane politician--she takes courageous votes that are supported by her keen intellect and engaging personality. Her quick wittedness and joy in providing service through her work as a Representative stands as testimony to us all.

She is one of our Nation's brightest young leaders--intelligent, dedicated, effective and fair.

I wish her and all the other injured victims in this senseless tragedy a quick and speedy recovery.
