                     PARKLAND SHOOTING ANNIVERSARY

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, this Friday marks the 2-year 
anniversary of the shooting at the school in Parkland, FL, where 17 
innocent lives were lost at the hands of evil. We will never forget 
that tragic moment and day.
  I am dedicated to keeping weapons from dangerous people. That is why 
I have introduced the EAGLES Act over the past 2 years. This 
bipartisan, bicameral bill reauthorizes and expands the leading center 
in threat assessment and prevention. This bill is a tribute to the 
victims and the families.
  Also, the Justice Department still hasn't provided to Congress its 
report on the shooting. I hope the Department of Justice will get off 
the stick. It owes it to the families to get this report done.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
order for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

                          ____________________
