Mr. SIRES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this resolution to express my deepest 

sympathies to our friends in India and the innocent victims from around the world. On November 26, 2008, coordinated terrorist attacks 

were carried out across the city of Mumbai, 

India, killing over 170 people and injuring 

more than 300. I am very disturbed by the 

brutality of these acts of terrorism and I condemn them in the strongest terms possible. 

Madame Speaker, I would like the Indian people to know we are standing by them during 

this difficult time and that we hope to find justice for the innocent victims of this terrible 

tragedy. I ask that all my colleagues support 

this resolution. 

The resolution was agreed to. 

A motion to reconsider was laid on 

the table.
