House Reconvenes, Condemns Attack 
----------------------------------



Earlier in the day, the U.S. House of Representatives reconvened for the
first time since the shooting to pass a measure condemning the attack
and honor the victims. House Speaker John Boehner delivered a tearful
address.

House Speaker John Boehner: "Our hearts are broken, but our spirit is
not. This is a time for the House to lock arms in prayer for the fallen
and the wounded and then resolve to carry on a dialogue of democracy. We
may not yet have all the final answers, but we already have the answer
that matters most: that we're Americans, and we'll make it through this
difficult period. We will have the last word."
