It is an honor to join the President in welcoming all of you to the
White House this afternoon. We've come together today in the wake of
a terrible tragedy that has put our entire nation in mourning -- and that
has reminded all Americans, once again, that everything in life pales in
comparison to our ability to keep our children safe, and out of harm's
way.
Today, our thoughts and prayers remain with the families and
friends of the victims of Columbine High School, as they bid emotional
farewells to their beloved children and a dedicated teacher. Yet even in
the midst of this tragedy, we see the people of Littleton, Colorado pull
together to pray and comfort and sustain each other. And we all gather
strength -- and hope -- from their example.
There are many people here today who have worked tirelessly to
create the safe schools and communities we all want for our children. I
especially want to recognize the work of Attorney General Reno;
Secretary of Education Dick Riley; and Secretary Rubin. I also want to
thank the members of Congress here who have proved that ending the
violence -- and limiting access to firearms -- can be a bipartisan goal.
